The left sounds scared very early

[Gaffer]

I don’t believe this even for a New York (New Jersey) Minute. They WANT him to run as the GOP Nom.....

They are just subtly trying to make us all think they are scared of him.

[a fool in paradise]

In the months to come, Democrats say, they plan to chip away at Christie’s moderate image and present him nationally as a hard-edged conservative.

[fatnotlazy]

The liberals DO eat their own.

lol! I hope they spend BILLIONS on that project!

[tanknetter]

Monday morning quarterbacking by Dems refusing to acknowlege reality.

Reality is that there’s only so much campaign money to go around. Remember that on Oct 1 the DNC was $13.5 million in the red.

They could have gone after Christie,and knocked him back by 5-7 points, but would have pulled money away from McAuliffe and probably put Cuccinelli into that VA governors mansion. And Christie still would have won.

This highlights the problem the Dems face in 2014. They can’t outspend Republicans by a 2-1 margin everywhere. But as VA showed that’s what it’s going to take to ensure even minimal victories in a lot of must-win elections.

[A CA Guy]

Christie and McCain can run together as new progressive democrats.

[mistfree]

And why hasn't the GOP started chipping away at Hillary? Use some of that money you didn't spend in VA and produce some negative ads about her. Space them out over time and parts of the country, drive up her already high negatives long before the election. It's like subliminal advertising, the message doesn't necessarily stick but the impression does. The GOP always waits till the last minute and by then the Dems have already beaten us.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Good. Let his friends tear him down so we won’t have to.

[nomad]

I can tell you now, IF that fat-ass progressive runs for the stupid party, I WILL VOTE THIRD PARTY.

F- the Republicrats!

[Still Thinking]

Democrats begin effort to negatively define Chris Christie before 2016 campaign

I doubt it. They have an excellent record against pansy Quisling appeasers, so it would be more likely they'd be doing everything possible to secure his nomination. In fact, I've started seeing positive things about him, so I bet that analysis is correct.

[HamiltonJay]

Are you kidding me the LEFT wants Christie as our candidate, this is why he was given a cakewalk re-election.

On the same day he won NJ by a big margin a poll showed him losing the white house to Hillary by a huge margin.

Don’t kid yourself, the Dems are rope a doping republicans into picking this guy as the candidate, and it will be an unmitigated disaster if they put him at the top of the ticket in 16.

[Still Thinking]

Christie showed broad appeal, carrying a majority of the votes of women and Hispanics and making gains with blacks and young people — all demographic groups that have stymied other Republicans.

And that would matter if the goal were to elect somebody, anybody, with an (R). If they're de facto (D)'s, what difference do the deck chairs make?

[SC_Pete]

Nah. He’s the candidate they know they can destroy. Ted Cruz is the one that scares the hell out of them.

[KeyLargo]

Oh goodie..... Sheesh.... Is Rand Paul getting squishy?

Rand Paul: Christie Win Shows GOP Has Room for Moderates
Wednesday, November 6, 2013 06:25 PM

By: Bill Hoffmann

The sweeping re-election of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie proves moderates are an integral part of the Republican Party, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says.

“There’s room in the Republican Party for moderates, like Chris Christie. They seem to be the only ones that are winning in the Northeast,” Paul told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“The other thing that might happen in the Northeast, if we had a little more libertarian-leaning Republicans, they would have a chance in the Northeast,” Paul said Wednesday.

This is nothing more than the Left helping to set Christie up for the GOP Primary.

“Chris Christie is the opponent Democrats fear the most.”

“Democrats fear Chris Christie can beat Hillary.”

And on and on. All part of the Roveian process of manufacturing a Chris Christie nomination. Phooey.

I’ve seen this play before, and it stinks.

[manc]

Christie conservative HA HA HA HA HA HA.

[showme_the_Glory]

Christie thinks they actually like him and will let him live. Only for a short time, then he’s whale food.

[Pollster1]

They just need to quote him accurately. I will not vote for him under any circumstances.
