It is no longer enough to be pro-freedom. Too many voters look at the free stuff that the Dems are promising and don't see the cost. We need a candidate who can articulate why conservative promotes freedom and how that leads to a better life for individual voters in the short term.
We also need party discipline. The Dems nationalized the election. They made it about Akin's stupid abortion comment, about a couple other abortion comments, and about our "lady parts", which is so stupid and irrelevant to the presidency that few sensible people took them seriously. Unfortunately, their focus groups were effective. Their social media monitoring was excellent, and they saw that the net effect of their little memes was to turn off voters and suppress the turnout, but to suppress our turnout more than theirs. They were right, and they barely squeaked out a "victory" based on (1) massive fraud, (2) divisive campaigning, and (3) narrowly targeted and absurd but emotionally effective attacks. We need someone who can respond in 2012, and it's not Christie.
Has it occurred to you, as it has to me; that I really loathe REPUBLICANS, damned near as much as I loathe Democrats. Time for them to go the way of the Whigs. We are NEVER going to get a Republican conservative candidate. They are playing us for suckers, just as the Democrats are playing the blacks. They’ll never see another cent from me, and next week, I’m changing to Independent, (and resigning my county committee seat.)
“They’re electable” is not going to cut it
I think they are. With a couple of exceptions, they've nominated a RINO in every presidential election year since 1928.
American presidential politics are blood sport. It is bare knuckled war. Christie knew that and he also knew the internal Romney polling numbers and yet he still helped Obama.
Makes me laugh. Christie is toast. He will never go anywhere in politics. The Dems won’t cuddle up to him and the Republicans are done with him. Simply put, Chris Christie has a very bad case of political herpes. And there is no cure.

It wouldn’t take long for those two guys to leave.
“I think conservatives are not going to nominate a RINO again.
“They’re electable” is not going to cut it”
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Fearless prediction:
The NEXT Republican candidate will probably be the left of Romney.
Got to entice the Latinos, Asians, and “ladyparts voters” to our side, right?
(BTW: I claim credit for the new term, “ladyparts voter”, which we can expect to see used much in the future...)
Hey Christie,anybody who “weeps” because they talked to Springsteen on the phone is NOT Presidential material. So get a grip and shut your pie hole.
He would have to run as a democrat.
“Every single time a conservative tries to cosy up to liberals, they end up taking it in the keister.”
Something like, “If you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna get fleas.” Christie is a fleabag compliments of love-’im-and-leave-’im Barack Hussein Obama mmmm mmmm mmmm
“Republicans in NJ are going to be crawling over broken glass to vote for the Mob Democrat, just so they can make this guy go away.”
I’ll guess that Christie will face Newark mayor Corey Booker in the next NJ governor contest.
If that’s the case, he’ll probably lose.
Agreed. Christie is toast and he knows it. IMO the whole Obama photo op stunt was more about Christie’s own re-election than anything else. I hope the GOP does primary him and we get a shot to take him out before Cory Booker and the unions do.
christie blew any red state support he may have had.
They run Christie they can expect 6 million republicans to stay home. I guess we’ll be saying President Biden
Christie will drop dead from a heart attack before 2016.
LOL! My wife and I are two...we are trying like hell to get back to Tennessee...we are going to ask for lottery tix for the holidays to see if we can score the $5,000 necessary to get out of Red Hampshire. ;-)
He's already there, he lives in New Jersey (ducking for cover)
There is no way Christie Kreme gets the GOP presidential nod in 2016. Not in a million years will the conservatives accept that gun grabbing, muslim loving RINO. He will likely keel over from a massive heart attack before 2016 anyway. His goal should be eating more salad and trying to stay alive.
,,,,, do not pass GO ,,, do not COLLECT $200.00 ,,, go straight to hell !!!!!!!!
