You Don’t Win Presidential Elections At The Jersey Shore

For those of you still holding out hope that Chris Christie will run for President (Ann Coulter) his latest video portends bad things for your dream of having a smash mouth fiscal conservative in the White House.
My Governor just released a video called “The Real Jersey Shore.” Were he thinking about Presidential politics, he would cut a video of himself eating a bushel of Iowa corn.
So I give you this video, ostensibly to disappoint Ann but ulteriorly to have you watch something from the “Jersey Shore” that is the genuine article, with no orange hued plazzoni girls transplanted from New York by MTV.
Enjoy:

Lucky Leo's, Three Brothers pizza, and the Log Flume. Lots of memories.
The Jersey Shore is a national treasure.

I really do hope Gov. Christie stays in NJ. They reallyreallyreally need him.

Long pants on the beach? Where's his Speedo?

Yes - speedo shorts are getting to be a real problem in Asbury Park. Some guys wear them a few sizes too small on purpose. I think they should be banned.

Re: You Don’t Win Presidential Elections At The Jersey Shore
I really really like Christie. If Perry should win, he would be the perfect VP balancer--I don't want Perry, but admittedly, that would be an awesome ticket; less so with Romney.
Despite my moniker, and growing up near NJ, the state, culturally, remains a mystery to me. I'm not sure why I should expect NJ to be more like NY, but it isn't; you cross the bridge or tunnel, and you're immediately in a different place. I wonder if people in PA feel the same way; CT feels different, too, but the contrast doesn't cry out the way it does with NJ.
I have a theory that people from NJ and NY rarely fall in love. True?

Is it now de rigeur for governors to have this kind of video pr output? It's a little weird. Does anyone else do it?

I know... I know... I gasped when I wrote it. I went from Libertarian to full on SocialCon in one sentence.
I just hate seeing banana hammocks at the beach.

My beloved grandmother owned a house in Margate, New Jersey, right down the street from Lucy the Elephant (don't worry ... those who know the South Jersey Shore will understand the reference). Growing up, all her kids and grandkids spent weekends and weeks down the shore, for free. For me and all my cousins, going to the shore wasn't about an expensive vacation, it was about seeing "Gram," and having a ball. It was about family, fun at the beach, fishing on the bay, great seafood restaurants, and a lot of love.
I haven't seen that MTV show, and I probably never will. That ain't my Jersey Shore.

It's not anyone's Jersey Shore except the MTV executives who are raking in the dough. I've never seen an episode, but occasionally clips have made their way onto the news. It's quite repulsive. I liked this video, but outsiders should know that the shore has many, many towns, each with a distinct personality. You can go in for the boardwalk frenzy, unspoiled nature, and everthing in between. The Jersey shore really is a treasure.

Did he say "y'all" at the end? Maybe it was filmed at the south Jersey Shore.

OK, I googled "plazzoni" with no results. What's a "plazzoni girl?"
Re: You Don’t Win Presidential Elections At The Jersey Shore
A very obscure Italian American reference to a bad girl.
The only time I heard it used was in the movie Raging Bull.

Good grief, enough already. Chris Christie is not running. Even he knows that New Jersey confrontational trash talking does not play well any place else in the country. A New Jersey guy can run, and win- provided that he trains himself to sound like he's from Kansas.
And Daniel Pipes explains another issue. BTW, look at the photo at Pipes' blog. That would be the Newsweek cover every other week.
