    Christie won't make it out of the primaries . There are things about him that the national media has not concentrated on.. yet . Hint .There is a reason that he didn't make the final cut for Romney's VP running mate

    Let's put it this way . The GOP may very well nominate him . I won't vote for him for my own reasons . He is like McCain ;every Dems' favorite repubic ,until it's time for the general election. Then he'll be the most evil man on the planet . The GOP may think there is some national appeal there . But it won't translate out of blue North East.

    I agree with you. He won't make it out of the primary's.

    Look. The message is loud and clear. The reason you haven't won the presidency is because you've nominated people who look TOO much like Democrats. If you nominate a REAL conservative, you think you'll win.

    If I haven't misstated your position, and I haven't, who, then is that REAL conservative?

    Ted Cruz is the ONLY one who qualifies. No?

    FYI...

    The botched Obamacare rollout has dominated the headlines over the past couple of weeks. So how do Virginia and New Jersey voters feel about it? They’re divided. In Virginia, 48% support the Affordable Care Act and 50% are opposed to it. The early exit poll numbers are almost identical in New Jersey, where 49% support the law and 50% oppose it.
    Other exit polls show even less approval for Obamacare in VA, so don't think McAuliffe won because the people loved zerocare.

    He won because jobs and the economy are what 3/4 people were most concerned about. In addition other states voted to raise the minimum wage, and raise the pay of airport workers, and in NY a landslide for the progressive union guy.

    Yeah the morons in NJ voted to add min wage increases into their constitution.

    Here's the deal with Christie . He's all about Christie . He set the special election for Senate for a different day so Booker voters would not be voting on the same day . He padded his results ,but had zero coat tails . The Dems lost a grand total of 1 seat in the Legislature ,and didn't lose anyone in the state Senate , which is absurd given the numbers that Christie carried .
    He has a bit of a cult of personality here... half way between a Sopranos wannabe ,and a Sprinsteen groupie.
    If he gave a damn about anything but his own political future he would've carried the legislature ,the Senate ,and he could've been the difference to bring Lonegan over the top in his race against Booker. That's what a real leader who was thinking of taking his act on the road would've done.
    Now he thinks he's going to get national cred by campaigning for goober Graham... If it wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable .
