My prediction on Christie is that he'll still get the nomination.

8. I don't think he ever had a chance

I know he leads in some name recognition polls (as Giuliani did in '07), but he's more like a repub strategist's wet pipe dream than the sort of wolf in milquetoast's clothing who wins GOP primaries (per Reagan, Poppy, Dole, *, McCain ... if the base decides to buck this trend, it'll be a whackjob like Cruz not some made-for-Joisey Fat Tony archetype, although the Dobson/Schlafly-approved firebrands are historically muscled out in the nick of time by the dread GOP Establishment.) I think Bruce Springsteen, Tom Kean, and the ghost of Vince Lombardi have a better chance of winning the nomination, but maybe America's heartland is secretly yearning for an ungainly, rude, condescending jerk-ass from the northeast.
