[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I have a way of not seeing stuff, sometimes major stuff, but I honestly don’t see Christy as having much appeal outside of NJ. I am amused by how these liberal brainiacs think they are seeing some kind of forecastable trend because he won in his own state with his kind of bombastic style against a pure nobody.

Christie wouldn't ordinarily have that appeal on his own. But this is the Republican propaganda machine at work. Remember that Romney was anointed the candidate well before the first primary, and that was no accident. It starts with non-stop news stories on every bowel movement the candidate makes, coupled with media talkers relentlessly telling everyone he is the one and only candidate. People see this non-stop propaganda and before long, they believe he actually is the only candidate. Any other candidate has no chance.

If another candidate dares to stick it out, the party machine will do its best to crush him. Remember Herman Cain? The Republican hierarchy couldn't stand having this upstart take votes away from their chosen one, so they, not the Democrats, mounted that smear campaign against him. Notice how all of Cain's accusers suddenly vanished once he gave up.

These days, elections are just theater The ending has already been written.
