“Seems to me getting 8% of the vote last time wasn’t very effective. If conservatives though Longean’s message was the best, they would have given him 31% of the vote instead of Bret Schundler.”
It seems to me you’re comfortable with an empty suit with no obvious ideas and the party establishment behind him, and Chris Christie unquestionably fits your requirements.
It’s unlikely I will vote for Christie, in spite of my disgust with Jon Corzine’s policies. If we can’t elect a real conservative, than let the Democrats take complete credit for New Jersey going bankrupt. New Jersey needs a complete change in direction, not just a small correction in policy details, which is all Christie might give us.
