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.)

Can he win anywhere?
Christie is a “severe conservative” /s
Oh, now you need to get w/ the program. Any number here will tell you voting for a back stabber was WAAAYYY better than a dem. During the last election they were all over this site. Then when McCain lost all those voting 3rd party got blamed....nice huh!? Im with you, no more RINOs, ever. They are better than a dem...
excellent post, R2nd
FMCDH(BITS)
I won’t vote for the SOB, Obama Best Buddy, Stab your own party in the back, lie and call yourself conservative, RINO.
Now, would ya’ll like to know how I really feel?
We got to get a 3rd party going because what’s going to happen is the RINOs will nominate Chrispy Creme and the Treason party will nominate Hitlery and we don’t want that again: A choice between a RINO or a commie. A 3rd party candidate like a Ted Cruz will give people a way out.
Yep. Just like Romney did...
Oh... Wait...
No and he cannot win on tv either. The American public, especially women, will not vote for his slobby, big, wide butt.
Hell no. I don’t want him anywhere in DC.
His ego is too large for that.
I am refraining from making a fat joke here.
Democrats and the MSM are salivating over Big Chris because he's exactly the kind of quasi-liberal with a conservative tinge that they assume will con Republican voters into nominating him so they can then crush him, using the 2008 template of urging Americans to elect Hillary Clinton as 'The First Woman President'. Never mind what she stands for or her pitiful lack of leadership qualities. She'll be 'historic' and that is all that matters. Christie will be laughed off the stage and his 'moderate' status won't matter one little bit against the 'First Woman President' concept.
However, should the conservative base wrest the nomination from the RINO establishment and have Ted Cruz as the Republican nominee, he could offer voters a real choice. His debating skills would unmask Hillary as the leftist phony she is. Although Cruz would be attacked unmercifully by the MSM, after the failures and resultant hardships Americans have had to endure under 'The First Black President', we may be ready to get serious about our elected leadership. One can only hope.
He won’t even win the NE. Conservatives will sit home like last election and the libs will vote for the Dem.
Romney was a lib from Mass and what NE state did he win?
Can't win at all.
He's playing the patsy for the now-adoring media.
But, that doesn't matter. The mainstream media and the useless idiots that head the RNC are already anointing him the candidate for 2016, with predictable results. It'll be a 2008 and 2012 redux. A blistering primary where Crispy Creeme , and the MSM make every conservative who pokes his head up look like a racist, anti-woman kook with one hand on the nuclear trigger and the other hand shoveling money to corporations. Crispy Creeme will limp out of the process weak enough for Hillary to finish him off. Progressives win AGAIN!!!
When will the GOP leadership and RINOs get tired of running this same pathetic play???
Nope .
In flyover country, no.
Me too. I’m still hungover from McCane and McRomney.
The real question is whether he would do as well as Romney in the northeast.
Tony Soprano for president? Fuggedaboudit!
