Jeffords. Bloomberg. Chafee. Specter.

It´s not like he´s the first, but it would be nice if he were the last.

A big fat pig versus the wimpy governor of NJ--this should be fun!

Christie is an East Cost liberal-lite. He acts like a Democrat; why not be honest and do the switch, Chris?

As poster #2 implies - - I´d never vote for that disgusting pig - - -

- - - and I´d never vote for Christie either.

No thanks.

Actually it´s pig vs pig.

Interesting - This will be confirmed when Christie starts kissing up to the teacher´s unions.

So. The Dims are starting their primaries early. Good luck. The resident Pig will never let go of his place at the trough.

Christie is the RINO front-runner.

I won´t criticize Christie´s physical problem (over which he has limited control); I will criticize his priorities (over which he has full control). We should be able to help those impacted by Sandy without the burden of all the unrelated pork. He placed the parochial interests of his NJ constituents over those of the nation as a whole. While that might make him a good governor, it disqualifies him for POTUS.

I´ll stay home.

I know this is mostly hypothetical for now but it´s the smart play. And maybe a wake up call for some of the Repubs in power nationally now.
There´s a reason why there are no Republicans in Chicago.
Republican leaders, you may think your safe but your gravy train days are numbered. You´re being fattened for the slaughter.
You need to keep strengthening and supporting your base to survive not the opposite. If your base goes so does your deal making ability and all those great perks you have... Christie sees what´s going on, being from NJ he knows the Dems M.O. This isn´t like "the old days". I don´t think the "beltway" type Republicans realize how numbered their days are if they´re not careful. For the Dems it´s no-holds-barred in term two. The Fox news Whitehouse press briefings story is just a hint of whats to come if the Dems can get away with it. Christie is just being what he now has to be, a good big city pol.

He is all for huge tax hikes

As an aside, the 2014 MN Senatorial campaign to ´re-elect´ Al Franken is in full swing already.

There are popup ad boxes on nearly everything I open on my desktop asking me to support Al Franken.

I think Rush was being sarcastic. He´s hoping it will be picked up by CNN or MSNBC. Another of his new "low profile" remarks. I don´t think he much likes Christie, however.

Christie, crist, powell, bloomberg, are politicians first and last.
Jersey and christie deserve each other, and his popularity is all in his head.

I ask a much more important question: If it is Pantload Shrillery, who has the blood of our brave Seals in Benghazi on her hands, against Governor Pantload Christie who has the bigger pants size? Both of their pants could be used as a mainsail for a 250 foot yacht.

Gee... Ann Coulter´s Presidential Primary pick for the Republican party in the last election is a weight challenged closet Democrat who follows Obama around like a lap dog. It´s getting a little scary Ann, there is that relationship thing with super lefty Bill Maher in your past. Three strikes and you´re out.

Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Jim De Mint!! YEEAAAWE!

I assume he will be on the dem ticket....because R´s won´t be giving him their vote~!

The Republican Party already has enough Democrats in it. That fat, useless jackass Chris Christie can go straight to hell. So can Jeb Bush. If we can´t get a conservative candidate out of the GOP, it´s time to consign them to the dustbin of history and come up with something new.

Watch all the "big fat pig" comments to suddenly cease in the MSM. You guys now own the oinker.

He ain´t one of us, he might be Hillary´s running mate, would be more like it!

Oh My another vicious thread. it would seem right now that being called a RINO would be better than being a far right Conservative (FRC.)
So how can a simple Conservative who believes in financial control and the right to be born and live avoid the label that Conservative is a fickle childish status? Conservative used to mean stay the course and believe in the Constitution --now -- who knows?
Go then and found a third party that will never win a national election.
Obama will not overcome the Constitution to get a 3rd term but dems will not nominate anyone but black for many cycles their fate is set.
Hillary will not be their nominee she isn´t black enough except in her heart. Biden is too old white useful idiot.
Collin Powell a true affirmative action quasi republican would be the only crossover candidate.

No self respecting Republican would vote for Christie.

Beg to differ, #10. As someone who has battled weight gain my entire life I know for a fact that Chritie has full control over his weight. He´s a glutton.

#21 your call is spot on.

RE #11 That´s what happened in the last election and now we have another 4 years of this crap. Staying home isn´t the answer.

Entertaining, but no thank you.

Seems like Chris Christie blew his own National Political Future when he sucked up to Obama after ´Sandy´. He could probably be NJ Gov for life..But to run for national office...He seem to be sucking hind teat. He is nothing but an East Coast Liberal RINO.

Good luck, Tubby

When he first came on the scene, Christie was popular among conservatives because he wrangled the New Jersey budget back in line. Since then however, he´s shown himself to be a RINO, and he´s made quite a few bad decisions in comments he´s made and showing support on the wrong side. He acts like a know-it-all and how dare anyone criticize what he says and does. Therefore he will have a tough time running as a Republican - better go over to the Dems where he really belongs.

Even if Christie weren´t a traitor, would the Republicans really want to nominate a candidate from New Jersey for President? Do they really have that much of a death wish?
