Since 1992, when Bill Clinton moderated the Democratic Party's image by criticizing a hip-hop artist for her racially incendiary comments, politicians have searched for their "Sister Souljah moment" – when a candidate takes what appears to be a brave stand against extremes in their party.
In 2000, George W. Bush caricaturized conservative jurist Robert Bork in an attempt to appear more compassionate than the GOP brand. That same year, Republican presidential candidate John McCain demonized the far right's "agents of intolerance." Eight years later, Sen. Barack Obama distanced himself from his own pastor, calling Jeremiah Wright's racially charged comments "a bunch of rants that aren't grounded in the truth."

He's done.
Become a democrat.
That Rino is finished.
Why haven’t all the Rino’s come to his defense?
Where are all the Rino’s?
To be HONEST, you can stick a fork in, he is cooked.
I was thinking that too.
Remember when being a politician wasn’t a career?
Barely, but I do.
How he can save his career?? Easy - Wait 6 months. If the MSM will cover for you (and they will for Christie right up until he gets the nomination) then there is nothing that is career ending in politics today. Marion Barry - Smoke Crack - Go to prison - Get elected mayor again. Eliot Spitzer - Visit Whores - Resign - Get High profile and high paying cable news gig. Timothy Geitner - Don’t pay your taxes - Get name Treasury Secretary. The media are tools and the electorate are fools - Ted Kennedy could kill Mary Jo and still be President if he were born one generation later.
His best chance is to keep his butt in New Jersey!
Fat boi is a pathetic liar.
He could also start talking about how great obamacare is.. or has he done that already..?
Bingo! You nailed it!
What nomination? Christie is DONE.
That answers my question. Nothing quite like Rino’s on the Run.
It depends on whether Hillary wants to run against him. If she does, then after a brief time in the wilderness, the Democrats will sound the all clear to the media and he’ll be resurrected. If she wants to run against Jeb, then he’ll soon be relegated to the ash bin of political history as a one-hit-wonder GOPe also ran.
