It just absolutely kills me that the best potential candidate in the field by far that the republicans have isn't going to run.

I can understand his reasoning, but it's still frustrating.

I’m already opposed to Romney and all other RINOs. Not a purist, but the candidates do have to meet a certain threshold and trying to be buddies with 0bama isn’t cutting it.

We need a conservative. A true one.

This writer is just another RINO pimping for Christie. First, this RINO isn’t running. Why debate the issue. If he did run his Conservative record is garbage. Second, we just had our first debate last night and the public wasn’t even aware of the high level of candidates we already have running like Cain, as evidenced by the Frank Luntz focus group. They loved him. Even Pawlenty and Santorum looked decent. It is not like we have a field of Johnsons running. Once people begin to hear from these candidates, they will be able to actually give informed info to the pollsters.

This longing for Christie makes no sense from a Conservative standpoint.

It’d be nice if the Republican Party were more opposed to Obama than conservatives but I guess that’s too much to ask.

Anybody but Trump or Romney. I'd rather not see Gingrich, Palin, or Huntsman get the nod either.

No point in running someone who can’t win.

No point in supporting someone who can’t win.

If you are leader with leadership qualities who can inspire people to follow you, then run.

If you need to form exploratory committess to see if you have a chance of winning, then don’t bother.

If you are proven loser, don’t bother, don’t waste our time, we are out of it.

I’ll say straight out...Gringrich, Pawlenty, Huckleberry, Paul, Romney get the hell out of the way, you ain’t it, go home, don’t waste our precious time. None of you have even one iota of leadership quality, which incidentally, is a very important quality in a leader herp derp.

I want to vote for either Christie or Rubio — but both say they won’t run.
