FLASH: Rumors are now starting to circulate that Christie may be, in fact, reconsidering. /jk

It wouldn't shock me. They keep beating that dead horse and the time hasn't run out yet.

agreed.. without Christie, I predict it’s going to be Romney.. too bad, I would have prefered the big man. I’ll root for Cain, although is 999 plan troubles me.. a 9% VAT tax will get raised to 11% then 12, then up to 15 within 10 years. it will never end.

1) Romney cannot win because the one BIG winning issue the Republicans have over Obama is Obama Care. However, if Romney is the main Republican candidate, then he is going to have a tough time since Obama Care was modeled after Romney Care.

A) Having Romney disarms the Republicans from going after Obama Care.

2) Romney is the leftist media and press choice for the Republican nomination. It just like McCain in 2008. Don’t forget in 2008 when Romney was ahead of McCain, and then all of a sudden out of the blue Romney steps down even though he was winning over McCain.

B) This is when I lost faith in Romney. If Romney ran against Obama in 2008 I have no doubt he would have won then. He stepped down and we got McCain (the leftist media and press candidate).

3) The media will attach Romney as a hypocrite on the health care (because of Romney Care)disarming the Republicans one big advantage. Moreover, they will attack him for being a Mormon (saying they are racist and have multiple wives) like they did in 2008 when they feared him and wanted McCain.

C) I can already see these issues will have Romney in Defense mode. So it will soften down Romney because he will not want to be labeled. Basically you will get the same type of campaign by the Republicans in 2008. Vote for me because I’m the lesser of the two evils losing Republican campaign. Which we all know how that ended.

Rest assured if the leftist media and press get Romney, then Obama gets another 4 years.

And on cue Romney passes out from relief.

I really wanted him to run. A rino split down the middle with Romney (and maybe even Paul) and left the rest of the field to the conservatives.

Christie’s own people have been putting the word out on his ‘reconsidering’. Might have just been a smokescreen, or he might have just run as a smokescreen, but his people were stirring this up.

Sorry to say that the MSM/RAT campaign > Operation Trash Sarah has been successful. She has no chance in the General, her own wishy washiness hasn't helped.

Again? Yawn. Would have been nice to see him split the RINO vote with Mitt Perry but oh well.
