.here we go again right? All the talk is about how Chris Christie will be the best GOP nominee because hes the most electable.
Weve heard this before. We heard it with John McCain in 2008. We heard it with Mitt Romney in 2012 and now we are hearing it with Governor Christie.
But theres a crucial difference. No disrespect to McCain or Romney but Christie has pizazz. He has more chutzpah in one finger than McCain and Romney do combined. Thats important.
A lot of Tea Party conservatives are going to focus in on the purity of Gov. Christies record. And for sure, that record should be explored. But just remember this: You can make the conservative case for Christie, too. Its not like hes Jon Huntsman folks.
Plus, Christie may just be the perfect political figure to run at a time like this because Washington is dysfunctional and Christie doesnt do dysfunctional. Hes got no patience for it just like the American people.
That match of the hearts could very well be Christies biggest asset. Put another way (or as Chris Christie might put it), he doesnt take any crap. And Americans seem ready for someone with real bravado thats serious about breaking through the political clutter to come up with real solutions.

Anyone was better than Romney, so that’s not saying much.

If the GOP runs ANOTHER liberal like McCain Romney or Christy for Press dent — it will lose even bigger than ever.

Yes, the Rats try to select the Republican nominee that they want to run against.
They've perfected the game with Juan McAmnesty and Willard Romney.
To: af_vet_rr
Yes indeed. They want a weak Republican candidate who will not motivate the Republican conservative base to get out the vote.

To: xzins
The author is exactly correct: Gov. Chris Christie is not Sen. John McCain or ex-Gov. Mitt Romney. He's big enough to be both of them combined. He's a scrappy, bloviating, squishy RINO bottom feeder like his buddy Barry Obonzo. Christie is a total putz and a guaranteed loser. Just ask ex-Presidents Dole, McCain, and Romney.
To: xzins
He has more chutzpah in one finger than McCain and Romney do combined. He WEIGHS more than McCain and Romney combined.

I would pretty much agree. Christie is loaded with gimmicks and talk. He has been lucky in getting legislation through the NJ legislature....that I will give him credit for.
To: BenLurkin
mccain says that he has people “begging” him to run. I figure his good friends like hillary, biden, schumer, jarrett and harry reid.

It is like he’s Jon Huntsman. Huntsman probably had a more conservative gubernatorial record than Christie, but they are both big government, pro-amnesty liberals who would kill off conservatism and Constitutionalism in the US if given the chance.
Jeesh!
