Rachel Maddow ripping Christie apart...

[brooklynite]

75% of speech about Christie, rather than Romney

[vanlassie]

1. Deservedly.

[Cha]

2. I just read christie said "I" 37 times

and romney 7 times! Could that be true?! lol

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. Paul Begala:

@PaulBegala
Only said "Romney" 7 times. RT @bobcusack: Christie used I or me 43 times in his speech tonight.

[Cha]

15. I stand corrected!

[Ruby the Liberal]

22. Other twitters have "I" at 37 (without 'me')

and 17 minutes before a mention of Rmoney.

Whatcha think - this was the Christie 2016 warmup?

[JDPriestly]

27. Doesn't sound like he endeared himself to the Romney supporters.

[Terra Alta]

3. He's running for 2016.

I'll bet he's secretly hoping Romney loses so he won't have to wait until 2020.

[MrMickeysMom]

7. What possibly could fit next to this blob on that ticket?

Ain't nothing gonna fit in that dress, sistah...

[sarcasmo]

21. They will pick a Women to run as VP to offset Christies ugly.

[goclark]

9. Running to weight watchers

is the running he needs to do instead of runniing his mouth!

[Tribetime]

10. well running may not be the right word...rolling maybe

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. probably running to the pizzeria

He must have lost 10 pounds in sweat up on that podium.

[XemaSab]

11. Taft is remembered for being the fattest president ever

I don't think the American people are going to break that record any time soon.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. He'll lose.

Mark me on it. He's too abrasive.

He is another, only appeals to the base Republican.

[On the Road]

30. I Think He Appeals to Some Moderates and Independents, Too

Christie has apparently not courted the right-wing as much as most Republicans do, and that would work in his favor if he could win the nomination.

As far as abrasiveness goes, Howard Dean was considered too abrasive for the Democrats. But Republicans like 'em mean.

[Stainless]

25. Christie won't be alive in four years

unless he starts paying attention to his health (weight). A morbidly obese type "A" personality is a heart attack waitng to happen.

[CBHagman]

29. Let's not speculate.

First, it's just in bad taste. Second, I've known more than one man who was reasonably trim and dropped dead of a heart attack, in one case at a very early age.

Please, don't go there.

[lonestarnot]

4. Great minds think alike!

Rachel!

[librechik]

5. the keynote speech is never about this election, but rather the next one--the presumptive

candidate for 2016 gives it. (usually)

[WI_DEM]

24. recently, maybe, but traditionally the keynote address is about the issues the party is going

to advance in this election. The person who delivers it might or might not be a rising star in the party but the speech isn't really supposed to be about them it is just supposed to give them exposure.

[librechik]

31. yers-- lately all the 24/7 campaigning has skewed everything

traditions like speeches saying what the party stands for and what they will do for the country--especially on the Repub side--are far less important than tossing red meat to the carnivores in the audience

[Cleita]

6. Al Gore called it. They are all running for 2016.

Romney? Whose that guy?

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. He sad this tonight on current

Yup

[Cleita]

19. Believe it. Al knows something about campaigns and

conventions.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Yup, why I turned to Current.

I think the GOP realizes it's pretty much over.

[Cleita]

23. Let's see if they have a rabbit to pull out of their

hat the next two days. I doubt it though. The only one who worries me is Karl Rove. What bridge is he lurking under?

[aquart]

28. Unless the vote suppression works.

[meow2u3]

13. I'd like my turn at ripping the Goodyear Blimp, a.k.a. Chris Christie

--right out of the air!

He's fat, hot-tempered, and full of hot air, not to mention full of himself.

[itsrobert]

17. Each part still weighs more than the average American male.

n/t

[npk]

18. All the speeches tonight, except for Ann Romney, have been self serving

None of them really respect Mitt and they know he is going to go down in the end, which is why none of them wanted to be his running mate. Don't think that Christie wasn't asked, of course he was. They are all keeping their speeches about themselves, as they all plan to run in 2016.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. He's setting himself up for 2016
