Chris Christie comparable to Bill Clinton?

Somebody from Jersey - read this article and give feedback, please. I don't know enough about the man to say if he is all that.

The Star-Ledger endorsement: Christie for governor | NJ.com

Gov. Chris Christie is the most remarkable political talent America has seen since Bill Clinton. If you haven’t witnessed his performance at a town hall meeting yet, make a point of it. You will come away convinced there is a sensible middle ground in America after all.

Equally impressive is his skill at playing Trenton’s inside game. Faced with Democrats in solid control of the Legislature, he’s managed to split them down the middle by seducing a handful of pliant party bosses whose self-interest compelled them to hitch their wagons to his.

Okay, I like the sound of that. I don't know yet if he will run for President, but "middle ground" gives me a happy case of the warm fuzzies.

But essentially, they go on to say that he sucks, squared, but Barabara sucks worse so they are backing him. Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot?

I don't get it. They start off by comparing him to Bill Clinton, which IMO is a HUGE honor - and then cut his legs off at the knees.

His ego is entertaining, but it’s done damage as well. By removing two qualified justices from the Supreme Court without good cause, he threatened the independence of judges at all levels, and provoked a partisan stalemate that has left two vacant seats on the high court. This was a power grab gone wrong.

The public gives him top marks for his handling of Sandy, but the record is mixed. Why would his administration park NJ Transit trains in a low-lying area where they flooded, causing $120 million in damage? Why did the federal government have to strong-arm the state to include more relief for renters and Spanish-speakers than Christie had proposed? And why should anyone believe taxpayers got the best price on refuse removal when the governor awarded a no-bid contract through a political friend?

Our own view is that Christie is overrated. His spin is way ahead of his substance.

So. What is your take on Christie? Would you want to see him get the nomination, 2016?

Clinton was one of a kind. He can never ever be replicated. Like Reagan. We're actually blessed in our lifetime to have had the likes of JFK, Clinton and Reagan.

Truly great men. All with their own achilles heels. Not perfect men. But great men.

Remind me what Clinton did exactly.

Bill Clinton treated women like they were there only to please him, yet the party who crows they are "For the woman".... admires the man who uses them and shits on his wife while he's at it...

something very wrong with that party, and the way I see it, any woman in the Democrat party doesn't think too highly of themselves, they see nothing wrong with a leader like Bill..

Christy might want to think twice about being compared to that scumbag, Billy Clinton
