Compared to Gov Sarah Palin, Christie is a left wing Liberal
One thing we all need to be clear on. The moneyed Republicans are not looking for a candidate who can beat obama. They are looking for a candidate who can beat Palin. Simple as that. They are absolutely terrified of her and they know that there is not yet a candidate in the race who can beat her. They thought Perry was the one, but he’s turned out to be a dud. So now they have to go beat the bushes and try to find anyone who they think can keep her out of the race, and they are willing to pay the big bucks to buy that candidate.
