The press is hoping Christy gets nominated precisely so they use this stuff against him.

Those sophisticates at Time magazine made a funny. They put Chris Christie on their cover with the headline, "The Elephant in the Room." Get it? Elephant. Christie. Time magazine did a junior high fat joke right there on its cover. Time's executive editor Michael Duffy explained the cheap shot this way: "Well, he's obviously a big guy. He's obviously a big Republican. But he's also done a really huge thing here this week."
The "huge thing" wasn't only winning re-election as New Jersey's governor, but doing it by appealing to a broad range of voters in a very blue state — not just to his conservative base.
But, hey, no harm no foul. Time isn't even a newsmagazine anymore. It became a liberal journal of opinion a long time ago. So you can just hear those wild and crazy journalists at Time sitting around the conference room table giggling about how they'd get away with their fat joke because, well, in the world of politics, the word "elephant" isn't a synonym with "fatso."
But do you think the gang at Time would ever say Barack Obama is a "dark horse." In the world of politics "dark" doesn't mean "black," right?
Time's cover doesn't necessarily mean that Chris Christie is the GOP frontrunner for 2016. It's way too early for that....

So they’re already trying to shove Christie down our throats! He’s the next in the line of Dole, McLame, Romney losers that ensure the dems win.
No, no, you don't understand he's really, really a severe conservative. He just has to be that way or he'd never get elected in Massa New Jersey.

You just don't understand politics. You're too much of a puritan and so now, that you didn't vote for a socialist, we are going to be stuck with a socialist in office for four more years - good going.

Well, I know he support abortion, gay "marriage," and is anti-gun.....but, but Reagan would've been called a rino on FR too, ya know.
or
sometimes you just have to vote for the lesser of two evils

Don't worry, someone will be buy with another quart of snake oil to sell.
Christie can go to hell!!!
No more North Easterners ever!
No Christie-—not under any circumstances.
LOL
The press is hoping Christy gets nominated precisely so they use this stuff against him.
There are also more ways to lose than merely one!
This sound just like every statement by the Establishment GOP since it ran Bob Dole right through Mitt Romney.
No thanks Mr. Goldberg!
I'm not crawling in bed with political whores anymore, for the sake of "winning" according to you LOSER prognosticators!
Put a harness on the boy, a Schrader valve in his @ss, fill him with helium, and send him off to the Macy’s parade...
You can for for the fat slobtard but Conservatives won't. There will never be another RINO/GOPe president.
Then let's agree on a Conservative candidate now and begin promoting that person and building the necessary coalition for a victory. Any suggestions?
Its Ted Cruz all the way.
I like Walker well enough but not for Prez as he’s another open border, let them have citizenship, since we “can’t do anything else.”
Exactly. Christie is at best Hillary-lite. Sad to see the author of 'Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve' join the wimps.
Win with Ted Cruz, of course/
Can we all agree? If so, let's begin a national campaign promoting him now. It will take time to build a coalition of supporters.
Why would the Republicans abandon a winning strategy? Dole, McCain, Romney. Perhaps the fourth time will be the charm. At this point what difference does it make? America has already been fundamentally transformed.
Why doesn't the writer ask it that way?
Presidents McCain and Romney support voting for the moderate candidate the GOPe, democrats and the lamestream media claim can have a chance to win.
You and me both.
The RINO stench is stinking up the room...
I would actually rather see 8 years of Hillary and an acceleration of the disaster that will allow the country to fail and start over, rather than a slower, and ultimately more painful decent due to milquetoast GOPe leadership.
