CPAC: Chris Christie’s not invited this year
Hot Air ^ | 2/25/13 | Allahpundit

Posted on 02/25/2013 4:38:23 PM PST by Nachum

I have my issues with him just like you do, but c’mon. Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush are conservative enough to speak at CPAC but not Christie? He’s the current vice chair of the RGA and will be chairman next year for the midterms. He’s headed for a landslide reelection victory in a deep blue state, where his approval rating is currently the highest for a New Jersey governor in the 17 years since Quinnipiac started tracking that. He’s one of the few members of the party with a national profile who’s reasonably well liked by voters across the board. Leverage his popularity, if only for a day.

I understand wanting to punish him for slobbering all over Obama after Sandy, but how do you find a spot for Chris Hayes and not for this guy? For cripes sake, Joe Scarborough’s spoken at CPAC. David Frum could probably get on a panel if he really tried. Their definition of “conservative” isn’t strict.

At least eight potential presidential contenders will be speaking at CPAC: Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

Christie has no one to blame but himself. He created the doubts among his original fans.

He is damaged goods because he has damaged himself.

He is untrustworthy.

What is conservative about them?

Christie might as well change his party affiliation. He kissed Obama’s butt. That I cannot forgive. He is just another RINO from the North East.

To make up for it, they invited Bob McDonnell.

Don't be ridiculous. Eggs aren't fattening.

Christie will go suck crullers and, for mid-morning snack, toasted and buttered bialys slathered thick with cream cheese.

Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush are conservative enough to speak at CPAC... and... Joe Scarborough’s spoken at CPAC

So?!?

A few wrongs don't make it right.

Has Christie even apologized yet?

Has he even asked for permission from Obama to go to CPAC?

Christie the craven politician will sleep (and eat) with anyone to get ahead. The Sandy love-fest with Obama translated into to high Christie poll numbers in NJ and a second term for 0bomba. Sell the country down the river in order to advance your career... thanks a trillion, Arbuckle.

Sounds to me like CPAC has gone liberal.

No respect for Christie as far as I’m concerned.

Intentionally or not, consiously or not, Christie actively helped Obama get reelected.

That separates him from the run of the mill RINOs mentioned as a comparison.
