[sargon]

Chris Christie is a tax-cutter and gubmint-shrinker; he is a TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already) candidate in the purest sense, who is also unabashedly pro-life.

I think you'll find that nearly all TEA partiers also support the Second Amendment.

That is where Chris Christie fails miserably. Christie is an untenable GOP candidate outside the Northeast...

“That is where Chris Christie fails miserably. Christie is an untenable GOP candidate outside the Northeast...”

He recently signed some gun bills related to mental health, and refused to sign others; in any case those aren’t TEA Party issues (unless you buy what the media has spun the TEA Party into, far beyond the original stated purpose of lowering taxes and shrinking government). Newark NJ recently laid off 160 cops because the state government refused to keep subsidizing them (thank you, Governor Christie).

As far as a GOP candidate for president, I don’t think he’ll play well in real “American” states.
