Christie=Romney+a big mouth.

[Dr. Sivana]

If Christie runs, he will either have to resign from the governorsip, leaving the head of theNJ Senate to undo all of his hard work, or he will have to perform both jobs, governing and running for president, poorly.

Perry could put an end to all of this by just, you know, not sucking.

Like Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, Christie is extremely liberal and will not advance the conservative cause. Tea Party conservatives need to look elsewhere.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I am a big Christie fan but all the media speculation is very annoying. He said he isn’t going to run. Period. The conservative media is filled with fools looking for something that isn’t there.

Despite my admiration of Ann Coulter, even her quixotic support of Chris Christie for president has not persuaded me to seriously consider the rotund New Jersey governor as a potential Tea Party candidate in 2012. He may be entertaining at times with his bluntness but he has an inherent abrasiveness that might not be so entertaining when exposed for months on end in a presidential campaign. He is far too ambivalent on the Muslim threat and holds many political positions that Mitt Romney would be comfortable with. Christie is definitely doing a good job as New Jersey governor and should remain there. Perhaps run for the U.S. senate when the next opportunity arises in 2012. We don’t need any more not-really-conservatives entering the overcrowded Republican presidential primary race but one real conservative might fix that. Her name is Sarah Palin.

If Christie’s entry is exactly what Perry needs, why is a Perry supporter posting an article against Christie’s entry? Gosh golly, could there be some duplicity here? /sarc

Christie for President? No, No, a thousand times NO!!

Christie is with Perry on amnesty for illegals.

"I already know I could win. That's not the issue...I've got to believe I'm ready to be president and I don't."

[Impy]

I’d gladly take him over Mick Pomney but Christie has made it pretty clear he isn’t running.

[Carry_Okie]

Christie’s entry in the race will provide competition to Romney for center-right voters but none at all for Perry among conservative Christians and Tea Partiers who this week in Florida showed their distaste for either Perry or Romney, while breaking with the Party 'leadership,' expressing overwhelming preference for TEA Party candidate, Herman Cain.

Cristy is Pro life and that is the first thing I look at for any potential runner

What was the deal with Perry’s story about lobbying for the HPV vaccine by the 31 year old cancer victim? I only heard the criticism of his story, which reminded me of Hillary’s tale about being shot at after landing in an area of conflict.
