Chris Christie's provincial problem: Can he win outside the Northeast?
The Week ^ | November 12, 2013 | Jon Terbush

If the entire nation were one big New Jersey, Chris Christie would have the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in the bag.

...

an NBC poll out Tuesday found that Christie was the preferred candidate of GOP voters in just one region, the Northeast. There, 57 percent of Republicans said they would support Christie in a GOP primary versus 22 percent who said they would not.

However, pluralities of Republicans everywhere else said they would prefer a different candidate. Christie trailed a generic "other" GOPer in the Midwest (35/30 percent), the South (29/27 percent) and the West (40/22 percent.)

Nope! I’ll never vote for a RINO again. Ever! I’m through holding my nose and voting for somebody only because they’re not a DemocRAT.

Christie’s real problem is the recordings of him cutting deals with Tony Soprano-types that are in the hands of New Jersey Democrats.

I am really tired of hearing about Chris Christie. All that is on the mind of Americans outside of NJ is Obamacare. If you have something that Chris Christie has to say about Obamacare, let’s hear it.

Chris Christie is irrelevant until he takes a stand on Obamacare.

Christie will don his very best Conservative camouflage and make all the right conservative duck calls, but as we all know, if he ever won the Republican Primary he would suddenly, but not unsurprisingly, shed the camouflage and then sound like Obama’s best buddy on any given issue. No Christie. No way. Ever. And I don't care if that means a President Hillary! I will not vote for Christie.

I live in Ct so I don’t have the luxury of holding out for a conservative in most elections. I vote for the most conservative guy/gal in the primary and then vote against the democrat by voting for the republican. But with Christie I might have to reconsider what I’ve been doing all these years.

He’ll make a fine VP for Ted Cruz to get the RINOs to vote.
