Christie continued: "The fact that nobody yet who's running for president, in my view, has done that effectively is why you continue to hear people ask Daniels if he'll reconsider and ask me if I'll reconsider."

I don't think there has to be a big "rush" for the GOP candidates to say "where I want us to go to deal with this crisis" just yet. We have over a year before the election. Right now, all the candidates are worrying about is how to distinguish themselves from all the others running. There are the almost gratuitous hits on Obama, of course, but, until the field is winnowed down to the top two or three, no one is going to "show their hand" and address specifically what the electorate wants to hear about the present "crisis". I don't think we need ANOTHER moderate in the race.

Exactly Boatbums....none are going to show their hand at this point and would be foolish to do so....much that we see is "winnowing" and dodging for sure. So glad you posted this and right on!
