Chris Christie Goes National. Romney’s running mate? NJ insiders say it’s not so far-fetched.

Christie is just what Mittens needs - - a northeast “moderate” Republican who managed to get elected in one of the nation’s most liberal scumbag Democrat states to balance out his own reputatiom as... a northeast “moderate” Republican who managed to get elected in one of the nation’s most liberal scumbag Democrat states.

Yeah. Diversity. That’s the ticket.

[Izzy Dunne]

Easy, boy.

Sorry, is my cynicism showing?

[KansasGirl]

I have convinced myself that I must vote for Romney in November no matter how much it sickens me. Putting Christie on the ballot will change my mind. I cannot bring myself to vote for a Romney/Christie ballot. No freakin’ way. That’ll possibly hand the party over to the liberal wing for the next 16 years. Arrogant RINOS think they have us where they want us.

My guess: Bob McDonnell, the governor of Virginia who is from what many pundits are calling one of three critical swing states in 2012 (the other two Ohio and Florida, and all three with 'Pub governors). Virginia govs are limited to one term — and that paves the way for atty. general Ken Cuccinelli to seek McDonnell's current job, a win-win scenario.

...one Christie ally explains. “It’s fun to imagine him debating Vice President Biden, and then there’s the reality, if he’s picked, of going along with Boston’s plan..."

"Boston's plan".
Whew... that definitely does not sound good. Not good at all.

Ya think ?

I'd rather see Zero burn the country down then hand it over to the RINOs....

“Just when you think the GOP-E can’t get any dumber”

It is slowly sinking in to me that they are not dumb this is just who they are. They don’t like the constitution or real americans anymore than the democrats do....

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Two gun banning Yankees on the ticket?

[trisham]

LOL!

[9YearLurker]

Taft was a piker compared to Christie.

[Lancey Howard]

By the way, can you imagine Moochelle’s “eat right” campaign getting about ten times the attention it already gets from the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms.
The message would be clear.

Well, let’s see. That would change my vote from ‘hell no’ to ‘what are you smoking?’

The GOP is already firmly in the hands of the liberal wing, and the RINOS already have many conservatives exactly where they want us - voting against our interests and supporting a left wing, super-pac funded, insider.

2010 was the year of the TEA party.

2012 is the year of the conservative smack-down.

[Milagros]

Does anyone have a well informed list of Christie’s values? Where does he stand on God/Country/security?

RE: I’d rather see Zero burn the country down then hand it over to the RINOs....

Hey you know what? You just might get what you ask for...

[Cicero]

How about Chris Christie for VP, and Ann Coulter for Secretary of State?

[Daffynition]

Oh goodie, another fat elephant from the Jersey shore...at least Ms. Coulter will be happy. :(
