FWIW, Rush Limbaugh today hinted that Christie might be interested in running for president in 2016 as a DEMOCRAT!
Based on what? I don’t think he wants to. I don’t think the Democrats would allow it. And I think Christie knows that. In a state race, maybe he could run as a Democrat, but there is no way he would beat out long time Dems in a presidential primary.
I heard that too, But he put it as “I wouldn’t be surprised if...”, and not as any information that he was given.
His being pro-life would deny him any major Dem nomination. Even if he turned pro-abort, it wouldn’t matter, since his past would be used against him on that high holy Democrat sacrament of infanticide.
He’s going to run, as a RINO for the Republican nomination. He may not be a conservative but he is no where near liberal enough to be nominated as a democrat for anything in NJ or nationwide. Frankly the whole notion is ludicrous.
As to this election date? Seems fine to me. Having it so soon before the November election sounds like a recipe for lower turnout (in both elections) which in NJ is good for us.
