Amid continued speculation that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is seriously considering a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, John McCain, 2008's GOP presidential nominee, said he thinks Christie would make a "viable" candidate - but he warned that "the swimming pool looks a lot better until you jump right in."
McCain, in a Sunday appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation," declined to say whether or not he thought Christie "ought to" get into the race, but called himself a "great admirer" of the governor.
"I think it's a tough decision that only he and his family can make," McCain said. "I'm a great admirer of Governor Christie. I think he'd be a very viable candidate."
Still, the Arizona senator emphasized that "the swimming pool looks a lot better until you jump right in. The water may not be quite as warm as you think."
"Remember he's starting from way behind in fundraising and organization and other areas," McCain said, of Christie, but noted that if he does decide to run, "I wish him luck. I think that there is a bit of a caution."

Yes, that is what I said, the docs bleed the system.
People in AZ believe nearly everthing McPain says. He is actually more popular in AZ than his friend “Lindsey” is in SC.
McCain should retire to AZ and spend his time counting Cindy’s money.
No one should have the “right” to demand a product or service from someone else. If you can make a doctor provide free emergency care, you can make a restaurant provide free food to the starving, or a landlord to provide free housing for the homeless in a snowstorm. Where does it end? All these problems are originating from the federal government. As Reagan said.... Government is not the solution to these problems, government IS the problem.
If I have to vote for another McCain I’M GONNA SCREAM. (breathing, inhale, exhale) Ok, I’m good, I’m good.
Then it’s good to know that Perry hasn’t impeded Texas businesses from creating jobs for illegal aliens!
that’s the kiss o death for Christie, an endorsement by McCain
