Palin vs. Christie: GOP rock-star feud
The Hill ^ | 9 MAR 11 | Christian Heinze

Posted on 03/09/2011 9:12:49 AM PST by kbennkc

Republican Party favorites Chris Christie and Sarah Palin are engaged in a feud of rock-star proportions.

The New Jersey governor and former Alaska governor are two of the best-known figures in the GOP, and both have been mentioned as possible 2012 presidential candidates.

But neither seems to like the other very much.

Their feud appears to date back to Christie’s 2009 gubernatorial campaign, when he declined to have Palin, a popular figure with the conservative Tea Party movement, campaign

Sarah is thinking with her cajones again.

Christie fits with New Joisy, but I think his shtick will in the rest of the country.

Christie fits with New Joisy, but I think his shtick will get old pretty fast in the rest of the country.

There is no feud as this story reports it as......this a bunch of made up stuff - how do the Hill know that Sarah was mad at Christie for not inviting her to campaign for her? It doesn’t say but assumes so.

The only thing Palin did was to snack down Christies arrogance

Christie favors more gun control. I don't care what other stances he holds.

He's just "Brady Bill" Bob Dole with a bit more charisma.

I don’t see a feud. He said one thing about her and she said one thing back about him.

I guess that makes for an epic feud in America anymore.

Can’t imagine what a primary will be like.

I really don’t understand why Sarah picked this fight or did I miss something? It makes no sense. Is she really so petty about Christie’s declining her offer to campaign?

“This is about New Jersey issues and New Jersey, and I don’t think having Gov. Palin here would do me, or frankly the state, a whole lot of good in the sense that we need to talk and focus on what the New Jersey issues are,” he told a local radio station at the time.

Governor Christie seems very happy in New Jersey. And I hope he stays there.

Christian Heinze needs to be taken to the woodshed. This is the biggest piece of crap I ever read - and I only finished this BS because I was waiting for the proof of the “feud” that this moron claims is going on. This is a total fabrication. He’s the snot eating little twerp trying to instigate a schoolyard fight. The little dingleberry that ends up stuffed in a locker, all growed up.

What a bunch of BS.

Sarah Palin is the only viable candidate CONSERVATIVES have on the field right now. Christie is a joke.

Actually Christie made a remark about her needing to do unscripted interviews first. She shot back.

But thats about it. LOL

“...or did I miss something?”

Yeah, you missed the part where there is NO substance in this hit piece.

Have you been hiding under a rock? Sarah didn’t “pick” a fight with Christie. He went after her first. And, she shot back. Much ado about nothing.

The only "feud" is one the MSM is cooking up to disparage both of them.

Journalism in America has gone full infantile...

Yep, his anti-2A positions DQ him immediately, imo.

But there's also this: Christie's Strange Relationship with Radical Islam.

What a stupid misleading article.

I didn’t see ONE thing that was said by either Christie or Palin, that was “a digg” at the other.

Both were speaking frankly, and honestly about what needs to be done....plain and simple.

Damn these stupid journalists love to twist and manipulate things to create diversion. They can’t handle straight talking, no BS, anti-PC politicians...so they have to create drama where there is none.

It pisses me off.

I won’t vote for ANY east cost politician. Convservative on the east coast equals liberal where I live.

She didn’t pick the fight. He had repeatedly criticized here for needing to get ‘off script’...something she does regularly and quite well. In his interviews, he says all she does is prepared speeches and friendly interviews.

“Have you been hiding under a rock?”

I’ve hardly been under a rock. I read and listen to the news every day. But sometimes you miss something. That hardly means a person was under a rock.

Congrats...you've diagnosed your own problem.

I wasn’t aware that Christie had taken that many shots at Palin. I guess it’s understandable that she fired back, but she’s going to need to grow a thicker hide if she hopes to make a run for the nomination. If it’s this easy to get to her then her opponents will captialize on it.
