Christie wins VA poll - could he win in 2012?

[kyzr]

I like pols who can actually drive the bus instead of bullshitting about being able to drive the bus. The last guy who drove well was Clinton ( balanced budget. no wars, general prosperity) <personal issues aside>.

Does Christie, who looks like he is actually fixing the NJ fiscal mess by taking a baseball bat to the troublemakers, have a shot at fixing the Federal mess in 2012?

I don't see any problem with Christie, we'll see how he looks after 2011.

Gov. Christie wins Virginia Tea Party presidential straw poll | NJ.com

USMB Poll: would you vote for Christie to fix the US economy?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Christie, but with an overwhelming Tea Party Republican Congress

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

He is not going to run.

 

[kyzr]

He is not going to run.

...unless he sees that the best way to help NJ is to fix the US fiscal mess...

 

[Avatar4321]

No. He can't win if he doesn't run and he won't.

I voted Yes on the poll question but he can't win in 2012. One big reason...He's too BIG. He's simply too fat. Americans are very shallow & dumbed-down people for the most part. His physical appearance alone eliminates any chances of him winning. If he sheds some pounds by 2012,he may have a slight chance. I really do respect the man and what he's trying to do in New Jersey though. The Democrats thoroughly destroyed New Jersey. He's doing his best to bring New Jersey back. He would get my vote if he decided to run. But Americans really are very shallow people for the most part and physical appearance matters very much to the Dimwits. It is sad but it is what it is.

New Jersey's mess has more to do with the people that have been running New Jersey all these years than it does with the Federal government.

I suspect it was a mistake not to build that tunnel, actually.

that's precisely the kind of infrastructure projects that we ought to be funding.

Plus it would make the commute so many garden staters make into Manhattan easier, too.

 

[chanel]

He's rethinking the tunnel project.

And taz is right Christies not running Maybe in 8 years

 

[Terry]

I would vote for Christie for President! I don't care what the man looks like or how much he weighs...he would get my vote in a NJ minute!

No Republican has a viable plan to 'fix' our fiscal 'mess'.

Hey comon, Americans loved Big Pussy from the Sopranos. And Hugo from Lost. Certainly they can love a fat clown for President.

I kind of like Christie, I must say.

Not viable only because the yapping class considers halting the explosion of the growth of government as not viable.

Why is it "precisely the kind of infrastructure blah blah blah?"

I like him too. Cleaning up that horrifying mess the Democrats left behind in Jersey ain't gonna be easy. He would get my vote if he ran. I just make it a point to never underestimate the shallowness & stupidity of the average American. His weight would be an issue for the dumbed-down masses in this country. It is sad.

 

[Missourian]

Nope, not Christie, not yet... I criticized the Democrats when they nominated a guy with limited experience and we've all seen the results of that debacle. Give Christie 4 years as Governor to fix New Jersey and then 4 more years as Governor to deal with the consequences of those policies. Then we can talk about a run for President.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

If NJ truely gets fixed, then he has the election in the palm of his hand.

I don't believe we are that shallow. And no, the election of 0bama does not prove me wrong on this. Voting for McCain on his accomplishments vs 0bama on his, I voted for Palin.

 

[rightwinger]

Christie says he is not interested. But he does have a huge ego. I would not be surprised if he ran and he is much better than anyone else the Republicans have for 2012

No, not viable because the GOP refuses to put defense on the table, which then gives anyone else a rightful claim to taking their own interests off the table.

Christie is the golden boy right now... But kinks are starting to show in his armor.
