No he wouldn’t. If he were the nominee, his bridgegate problem will reappear and be pounded on daily.

We don’t want him anyway. No more East Coast liberal republicans, thank you.

“Anyone who tells you Chris Christie’s presidential aspirations are in trouble might think differently if they saw how Iowa Republicans reacted to the New Jersey governor on Thursday.”

Reason #438 to disregard the Iowa caucus, and only award electoral votes based on closed primaries.

Probably not during the primaries. Like McCain and Romney he will be tossed softballs till the general. Then he will be torn a new blow hole.

How about if he's on the 2016 ticket as VP with a serious conservative running for president?

Iowa Republicans are an odd breed of cat. Founded in the depths of populism and Progressivism, many of them are more radical than even their Democrat counterparts, and knowing their ability to shift public perceptions early on, they tend to skew the presidential preferential selection process by not taking a poll of at least a sliver of the voters, but by meeting in caucus without an actual campaign ever being conducted. Which is one of the reasons the Iowa caucus results are so widely variant with those of New Hampshire, where there actually IS an election of sorts.

The Iowa caucus is an exercise in futility, if the objective is to get an early feel for the relative popularity of one candidate over another. Most straw polls are more accurate.

I wish the GOP would have their first caucus in Texas and first primary in Oklahoma. Then we wouldn’t have REAL Conservative candidates, who aren’t swayed by the typical Iowegian Caucuser’s question, “But what are you going to do about early childhood education”?

I agree that Christie is going to be a "force" in 2016. However, I don't think the guy is going to be a presidential candidate at all. Or if he does run, he's going to run a half-@ssed campaign like we saw from Rudy Giuliani in 2008 -- where the campaign was nothing more than a national speaking tour on someone else's dime, for the sole purpose of developing business opportunities.

I've said for a long time that Christie's real motivation is to parlay his political clout in the GOP into a nomination for the U.S. Attorney General post.

A constitutional amendment for all states Presidential candidate selections to be a 1 man 1 vote by secret ballot.
Caucus gave us zer0. (Not that Hitlery would have been better)

When it comes to selecting delegates to the national convention, the 2012 Iowa process ended up with a easy majority of delegates for Ron Paul.

To this day victims of hurricane Sandy have not received a dime in aid despite tubby kissing the Kenyans arse. How many days did Bush get before they called him a racist? 4 days? Tubby kissed the Kenyans arse, got stabbed in the back, and destroyed his credibility in the process.

CAESAR (aside to ANTONY) Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.
