    I think not. NJ is my native state and I'm happy to see such a good man in Trenton. I think if he runs as a Republican he'll have a good chance to be President. He'll have a hard time in the primaries, but if he skips Iowa, he has a good chance to win the primaries in the North East. Then if he faces Hillary in the general election, he can run against Obama who is ruining the economy which will be in a shambles by 2016 (I think but I hope not). And he'll be able to run against the Clinton II. Haven't we had enough of insiders?

    Am I the only conservative Republican who thinks he's just been doing what he thinks is best for New Jersey?

    I think he would be better off running as the first electable Independent.

    Republicans have already thrown him under the bus......for praising Obama......

    and he can probably win over moderate democrats.

    If he can win a nomination, Republicans will probably reluctantly back him, and try to re-claim him as one of their own, at least, same way they called McCain a TRAITOR in 2008, for working with Kennedy, and then had to back him as the last man standing in the primary, and the same way they hated Romney........and were forced into backing him when HE became the last man standing anyway, in spite of zero support from his own party.

    I think if Christie plays his cards right.......he could be a major contender and game changer in 2016, since the field will be wide open. He clearly had the lap band surgery to sharpen his image......so, he's obviously gonna make a play for it.

    If he throws his lot in with the Tea Party right wingers though..........he's toast.

    NO Christy is a republican through and through. It's just after Hurricane Sandy the far right got butt hurt. But trust me. Christy will run on the GOP ticket.

    The only way a Republican could win a presidential election is to run as a Democrat. It will be decades before another Republican gets elected.

    Hahaha... Christie hates Obama. He just isn't going to say that he did anything bad during SANDY. I mean, what is he supposed to do? Obama was going to send as much money as possible to NJ to make sure that it was restored quickly. It wasn't like he really gave a $hit, he just knew that it would make him look better. The fact that you guys think Obama is a saint just shows how dumb most libtards are. Too bad they weren't swept away in the hurricane. haha

    No. Limbaugh is on crack with that claim. Besides, I think Christie just screwed himself with that 'special election.

    I don't really know but I know he is still pissed off that he was not picked to be the VP candidate.

    He can do as he pleases but he wouldn't win regardless of which party's flag he ran under.

    I don't think he can run to his fridge without getting winded.

    If he can beat out Hillary in the primaries, I would vote for him.
