President Chris Christie

There are a lot of attractive candidates on our side who might run for president. I'm a Mitch Daniels man, myself.
But does anyone doubt that a President Chris Christie would be....at the very least a huge amount of fun?

Re: President Chris Christie
I love Christie as well- but I am reserving my draft movement until he has had at least 3 years in office. You can do one budget on bluster and plain talk- the second is much harder , after the Dark Side has had a chance to plan strategy and muster their forces (for reference, see California). By the third round you need allies. It will be interesting to see how he does after the first season.
Daniels has had several years, and still wears well. So has Pawlenty. I will be interested to see if Gov. Christie can go the distance.

Re: President Chris Christie
Heck, the nation is kowtowed by liberalism. If you disagree with the zeitgeist you're a racist homophobic fundamentalist. Christie just blows through all that crap and it seems the left just doesn't know what to do...and the people in general are loving him for it. Just the man we need in times like this!

I'm interested as well, and optimistic: He has a way of talking over his adversaries to the people. If he can continue to build capital there, he'll be better able to resist the Empire when it strikes back, which it will.

Exactly what I've said to my wife and best friend within the past 48 hours. It would be even more fun than Cheney vs. Lieberman in 2000.

A Barbour-Christie ticket would be interesting.

Re: President Chris Christie
Seems as if the political paradigm is imploding and reshaping, in the past we were moved by surreal staging, social novelty, and Madison ave marketing. Pre Obama, I think people would have laughed at the idea of a Christie Presidency simply because of his obesity. I love the idea of competence, courage, blunt straight up truth, and an appearance that spits into the face of the superficiality which allows us to be so manipulated over and over. He is not a handsome black man from Harvard who photo ops his beach body, he is not a former beauty contestant, a war hero,or other touching novelty, his "market image" is innately negative in every surface category. White, Obese and Jersey (sorry NJ)I am overwhelmed when listening to him because I am having withdrawals from the dose narcissism I have been so accustomed to receiving. He inspires in a way that truly shatters the paradigm without out the prompter, the columns and the rock concert/laser light show. I would support him a heartbeat. The only neg is that Chris Farley is not with us for the SNL parady...can't have it all,i guess

Re: President Chris Christie
That's right. Barbour, in dismissing concerns about his accent, has said that Americans in 2012 might be ready for an "anti-Obama." The same dynamic might apply to Christie's weight, or Daniels' "bald short-guy" status, or even Palin's schtick (That last one I'm less enthusiastic about).
In fact, "smooth and handsome with a marvelous head of hair" Romney could actually be at a disadvantage.

Ursula Hennessey: Oh, for some "off the cuff" Christie, check this out. I've watched it twice, I'm so enamored of the guy. Personally, I'd vote for a Christie/Rhee ticket any day.

I'd vote for Christie if his running mate were a fence post! · Sep 18 at 4:29pm
Or... Sarah Palin...?

Heck, at this point I'd vote for him against Obama if his running mate were Justin Bieber but it's hard for me to reconcile with what I see as the biggest problem Obama took into office with him: his lack of experience. Three years as governor might make one a bit better-suited for the presidency than three years as senator and Christie's racking up a terrific list of accomplishments but...I'd rather see him run in a few more years. And yes, that makes my support of Palin pointedly hypocritical and utterly indefensible.
