At best, Governor Christie ducked the question.
Rolling his eyes and saying “anything is possible” sends the politically correct message that a Palin presidency is a freak accident. But not speaking in a straightforward manner saves him the political risk of a backlash, because he knows his own support comes from Palin supporters.
Failing, on national television, to answer the most prominent question of current politics is not the action of a real leader.
Well, he didnt roll his eyes. He was asked if he thought it could happen and he said it was possible. Why is it important if the NJ Gov thinks a former Ak Gov can be president?
And how is “can Palin be President” the most prominent question in current politics? Wouldnt a question on how to act against North Korea, how to cut the state and federal budget, and how to react to the TSA issue be more prominent right now?
