I don't normally agree with Bob Kuttner, a hard left commentator, but in this case, I'll make an exception. Chris Christie may be done with NJ politics. In 2013, it should be interesting to see if he gets a primary challenge. What GOP donor will finance Brutus? What GOP voter will pull the lever for him? He won by 4% in 2009.

“being the Republican nominee, he is delusional.”
True. But, he could switch parties and win handily I bet.
He seems more like a Truman Democrat anyway.

... if Christie runs against Hillary, all kinds of “conservatives” will flock to him. The Republican Plantation demands it. They obey.

Just when the race was tightening to a dead heat in the elections closing days, one spectacular betrayal and one rank miscalculation on the Republican side have turned the contest back in Obamas favor. Actually, Romney had the lead of 5% to 6% a week out from the election.
Then Sandy the storm happened and Ms. Christie happened....
To: garjog
The unions hate him. No way he ends up in the Dem party, that I can see.

Christie’s morbid obesity will kill him before he ever gets another shot in politics...
To: Red Steel
Guess what, a compulsory plebiscite would still have shown such a lead for Mitt.
The Democrats turned out their voters better. That’s all there is to it.

Bite it, Christie, you back-stabbing, fat-assed pig. Your betrayal of our nominee will never be forgotten.. or forgiven.

Too fat, anyway. No one would elect a heart attack in waiting. Unless the VP was exceptional.
To: Zhang Fei
One wonders what our blonde cheerleader in residence (Coulter) has to say about Christie’s behavior this week?
It certainly appears that Christie is plenty happy to stab Romney in the back - repeatedly.

... if Christie runs against Hillary, all kinds of conservatives will flock to him. The Republican Plantation demands it. They obey.If Christie wins the nomination, Republicans will vote for him, because the alternative is a third Dem term. But Christie has to win the GOP nomination. Which of Romney's wealthy donors who provided hundreds of millions of dollars will support Christie? Which of the GOP faithful who worked their butts off for Romney despite disagreeing with him will work for Christie? Nobody likes getting stabbed in the back. Christie was toast as soon as he pulled that maneuver.

the better to position Christie for a presidential run in 2016.When I heard him making verbal love to Oboma on the TV, I wanted to puke. It was like he was kissing Oboma all over. Oh, how he loves that wonderful man, that presidential savior, that great leader.
If he ran as a Republican candidate? Are you kidding me? He'd be lucky to get his own home state after what he did right before an important election. It was disgusting, to say the least, and just plain stupid.
To: Zhang Fei
I have as much contempt for him as I do for obama.

He’s for New Jersey to deal with.
He’s done on the National stage.
