Chris Christie: Newt's an embarrassment to the party, but he can beat Obama, so what the fuck.

Chris Christie: ‘Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party’



“I think Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time,” Christie explained. “Whether he’ll do it again in the future, I don’t know. But Gov. Romney never has.”

“We all know the record,” the New Jersey governor continued. “He was run out of the speakership by his own party. He was fined $300,000 for ethic violations. This is a guy who’s had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party.”

“But do you think a candidate, a nominee Gingrich, could also beat President [Barack] Obama?” Gregory asked.

“Sure,” Christie replied.

Number one quality voters in South Carolina sought was "electability."

Has nothing at all to do with wanting to get that "Kenyan" out of the White House.

They've hated Obama's ass since he put his hand on the Bible and raised his right hand. They're gonna hate him even more when he gets another four years.

He just told a sizable number of republicans that they are stupid. This blowhard is clueless. I am in sales and the worst thing you can do is denigrate their decision. He should have thanked SC and moved on to why Romney is a better choice.
i live in the south and there is nothing worse than to be a northerner telling a southerner that they are stupid.
We have a saying in sales "lose like a champ". It's the only way to get people back.

Christie shows everyday why he is a jerk.

All the Republicans care about is making money even if they have to destroy America in the process of getting rich. The Republicans try to brag about being good patriotic Christian Americans yet God is disgusted with Republicans and the Republican policies of ReaCONonmics have bankrupt our country. Read my web page at www.mybetteramericaplan.com to see how the RepubliCONS have destroyed our economy, caused 9/11 to happen and has led us into many wars and many more if they again control our government. We can legally steal the next election by moving Democratic voters from states that we are sure to win and sure to lose into states and moving and reregester them in states we need to win or states that are too close to call.

embarrassment to the party, but...

HE CAN BEAT OBAMA!?!??! Excuse me?

I thought that Romney camp is trying to convince their minions that Mittens is the ONLY Repuke candidate who can beat Obama?

Again, their logic baffles me.
