Got that right, I don’t think Republicans realize just how Liberal Christie is. If Christie got into the race they would be in for a rude awaking far too late to do anything about it.
A republican can’t win a presidential election with out the support of conservatives. Christie himself knows hes too green to know how to corral that support.
Folk that want him to join the race are a bit too hopeful. I’m sorry the men who have elected to run are less then prefect, Christie is less experienced and no more prefect then any of them.
To his credit Christie know this, if he ever wants to run for president he can run in 2016, 2020, 2024, ect.. By that time he will have a lot more executive experience under his belt to prove he has the skills to manage a goverment.
People see Christie's "style" as leadership -- he's a former federal prosecutor -- so he is in your face and he knows NJ inside out -- not much else.
If he's liberal as you say he is, his getting in the race can harm no one but Romney, so I say jump right on in. Let him and Romney split the liberal vote.
To me, Perry still seems the best choice.
Romney and Huntsman are very bad choices.
The difference between Christie and Romney is that Christie fights with Democrats and the institutions of the left, and that Christie is sincerely pro life. Unlike most governors, he's cut off tax money to Planned Parenthood.
This field might be the best in my lifetime.
