No doubt that Team Romney is looking at Christie very closely. I do wonder about Christie’s health. I also hope that Eric Cantor is being considered.
What we DON’T need is 2 RINOs on the ticket. Eric Cantor has been a huge disappointment as well. He’s another go along - get along Republican.
Both men are bad choices. However, if Christie campaigns for Romney in NJ, he has a chance of winning that state in the general.
Erice Cantor? What has he done (EVER) to advance the Conservative message? Romney needs all the help he can get when he is pretending to be right wing and Cantor will be useless.
Christie is so fat it hurts to look at him
The man is good with the take-no-prisoner speeches but personally his body image shows ZERO self control. Yes, it matters. It is an obvious personal flaw, imho, and odds are he will live a shortened life for it
Luckily there is no way the GOP would be dumb enough to team up 2 northeast RINOs
(NOTE: they'd shamelessly continue to claim "he's pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage" even if Christie stopped every single abortion in the state of New Jersey and convinced 100% of the population to be heterosexual. His actual policies don't matter to the bashers, they'll make up their own "facts" about his positions so it fits their "Giuliani clone" smears)
according to some here, NO ONE except a pristine few can be supported for pres/vicepres....
for me, Christie is fantastic....so is Rubio....so is Rudy....I like strong men and I could care less if they fit in as "conservatives" as long as they are patriots and pragmatic financially...
Christie, IMO, is a RINO just like Mittens. If Mittens wants Conservative votes and workers, he would be wise to pick a Conservative VP.
How ANYONE who considers themselves “conservative” could POSSIBLY adulate this guy is really beyond me. He’s a one issue man, a guy who tried to balance the checkbook - admittedly, something unique in New jersey government, but still hardly the only qualification for a conservative. Even his counterpart across the River, Michael Bloomberg, understands that.
Chris Chistie is a quintessential RINO. He is STRONGLY pro-Islamic, anti-Second Amendment and anti-First Amendment. He refused to have New Jersey participate in the suit against Obamacare. He signed a bill against “fracking” and opposes drilling off the Jersey coast for oil. It took several years for him to pull New Jerrsey out of the coalition of Northeastern States that are a party to a statewise version of cap and trade. He ALONE of invited Republicans of political stature, attended a dinner at the White House with Obama and a repsentative of the Red Chinese government. I could go on and on about this guy.
And Romney is, I think, far too shrewd a political operative to select aomebody from the same part of the Country as he is as a running mate, particularly one as RINOesque as Chris Christie. Romney needs to shore up his southern conservative base, which is less than enthused about a Northeastern Liberal RINO, particuarly one with Mormon backgrouond issues.
“No doubt that Team Romney is looking at Christie very closely.”
Ugh.
