Living where I do, I have seen all the press conferences during Sandy and Irene. I have to hand it to the guy, he's an effective leader when there is a disaster. I think he said 'this is what adults do' and 'now is not the time for politics' my husband and I both let out an OMG! I said that he just screwed himself with the Rs. He said, 'and what to my wondering eyes should appear..'
I think they will drop him like a hot potato. They hate the Dems and Obama too much to let this slide.

Some thoughts on Chris Christie [View all] Stinky The Clown Nov 2012 OP

I live in NJ. Consider that when CC runs for president, he won't want Kahuna Nov 2012 #1

He won't run and couldn't even get nominated Lightsource777 Nov 2012 #2

My guess is that if Christie wants to stay in sufrommich Nov 2012 #3

His conservative bubble popped when he was faced with reality instead of ideology. JaneyVee Nov 2012 #4

he certainly has had a MAMMOTH gain in stature quinnox Nov 2012 #5

He is the next Charlie Crist. Jennicut Nov 2012 #6

I tend to buy into that viewpoint. Christie may have well had a revelation. bluestate10 Nov 2012 #12

If he wants to become more popular he will do that. Jennicut Nov 2012 #13

I don't want him jsr Nov 2012 #7

Bottom line, the guy is not an idiot Hippo_Tron Nov 2012 #8

He is first and foremost a politician, and has an election coming up next year BumRushDaShow Nov 2012 #9

There's the possibility that he just needed the federal government to restore power to Duncan Donuts HopeHoops Nov 2012 #11

"It's what adults do" was not what Christie said. Someone impersonating applegrove Nov 2012 #14

Like Jon Huntsman, he is much too moderate to win the batshit crazy RW primary vote (nt) Nye Bevan Nov 2012 #15

SNL is playing him right now . . . . as a GUIDO!!! Hahahahahahahaha Stinky The Clown Nov 2012 #16
