Cruz has little appeal outside of the Tea Party faction.

Rand Paul will get the same 10% of the vote his dad received.

Christie represents the GOPs best chance to reach out to indepedents, and their best chance to pick off any states east of the Appalachians and north of the Potomac.

12 hours ago I would have agreed. But it looks like the Republican Party's own "sensible center" Douglas Carpenter Jan 2014 #12

LOL no. Christie is toast. anti partisan Jan 2014 #13
