Will Chris Christie go big, tap Geraldo Rivera for Senate?
Yahoo News (CSM) ^ | 6/4/2013 | Peter Grier

In January, Geraldo Rivera said he was thinking of running in 2014 for Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s seat. Now, after the senator's passing, Gov. Chris Christie has the politically perilous task of naming a replacement.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) needs to pick a replacement for the Garden State’s Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died Monday. As many pundits note, this is a task that’s fraught with political peril for Governor Christie: Pick someone deemed too liberal by conservatives, and he damages his presidential chances. Pick someone deemed too conservative by Democrats, and he damages his standing in his own blue-tinged state. What’s a shrewd, popular governor to do?

Two words: Geraldo Rivera. Or as the mustachioed news crusader would probably say it himself, Geraldo! Rivera!

Anyone notice how quiet Ann Coulter has been concerning Christie lately?

>> Geraldo’s as much of a conservative as Christie. <<

Geraldo openly supports gay marriage, abortion on demand, and teacher's unions. Christie has vetoed of all of those. Geraldo is currently advocating for amnesty and for cozying up to Cuba and Venezuela. He doesn't even deserve to be called a RINO. He's a Democrat on Fox News.

Christie is up for re-election, so he’ll weigh his options carefully.

But only after he's had 2 or 3 of the new Dunkin' Donuts glazed donut breakfast sandwiches!

If he picks Gerald Rivers (LML (loud-mouthed leftist), NJ) for the interim seat, then I wouldn’t give the Great Fat One a doughnut if he were on the point of starvation (which he wouldn’t reach for years even if he tried).

Could happen. After all, Geraldo said recently that he is thinking about running for the Senate (I believe)...as a REPUBLICAN.
