Influential Republicans in early presidential primary states believe New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is poised to once again become a frontrunner for the party’s 2016 nomination, following a news report that federal scrutiny of a bridge-closing scandal has not implicated him.
“If he had been found in the wrong, he would have been irreparably damaged,” said Matt Moore, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. “This is hugely helpful.”

The GOP needs to find somebody to run for president who doesn’t have the hots for Slick Willie’s wife and who WILL NOT say on national TV just before the election, “Hillary will make a great president”.
If Santorum and Newt had dropped out, who would have won?
Only Newt, Rick and Mitt won States.
Jabba the Hutt poised to eat main rivals, how will the voters respond?!
Fatso Christie represents Romney and RomneyCARE.
The GOP is the most treasonous, lying bed of skunks
with the frosting of Boehner on top.
He said “or”.

Front runner! Not a chance!
Hurl
Frontwaddler.
To HELL with Christie.
I live in the intermountain west, I have my own particular attitudes (freedom, anti-corruption) and I smell “easterner” all over Christie, and that means “big city Democrat.”
His behavior, his flaunting of power is not Republican. He and his staff acted like eastern Democrats drunk on power. Corruption, intimidation, getting even with your rivals, personal revenge, that kind of thug thinking we see presently in the Chicago White House.
I will never vote for him. God help the Republican party if they are stupid enough to put him forward, because it will undermine their efforts in the next election. Millions of us will never, ever, vote for that man.
Big Mistake, Republicans. Do not nominate Christie.
Not surprising as the Republican Party seems bent on never winning a Presidential election again.
Hey GOPe,Christie will NEVER be President of the United States.
It would actually be what took place in 1980 with Reagan and 1964 with Goldwater.
Yes, Christie will be the frontrunner. With 20-25% of the GOP primary vote.
Name it and claim it, blab it and grab it!
Is, “Rob Costa” Karl Rove’s nom-de-plume?
“Chris Christie” and “run” should never appear in the same sentence.
Oh, please. He's just a blowhard with people he thinks he can intimidate. With Hillary, he'll be deferential. And if he spots Bruce Springsteen in the audience, he'll burst into tears.
If Newt -OR- Santorum dropped out, Mitt would have lost.
No unity among conservatives. Too much ego.
I certainly do not want a mild mannered Mitt-clone in debates with Hillary. I would like to see someone who can counter punch.
No unity among conservatives. That is our downfall.
