Good! Why in the world would we want another candidate to the left of Perry and the to the right of Romney?
Aside from any questions about ideology, the guy we want is the guy who speaks and thinks on his feet best, i.e. we want the greatest possible contrast to Obama. Christie would surely have qualified on that basis.
I was afraid when I heard that Barbara Bush called his wife to push him to run. Biden is not happy as this was his guy.
