Christie looks like a fun guy - he seems to have sense of humour and seems authentic. Too bad he is not running. Will GOP play the race card and support Cain?  :lol:

Edit: Also, it seems his stances on many issues are right of center, but quite reasonable: http://www.issues2000.org/Chris_Christie.htm

Meaning he has no chance to win the primaries.

Fatboy has spent so much time and energy declaring that he won't run that he's still in it, if only when the "Draft Chris Christie to save us from the Bat Guano" campaign starts....

He said two days ago that it is a definite no.

I like Christie but I don't know that he'd do well in a national campaign.  I could be wrong but his style strikes me as very New Jersey. 

Also I agree with the idea that he's maybe too overweight to win.

He could capitalize on the Jersey Shore success.

Nonsense.  He is: too big to fail. :cool:

Corzine's campaign against him in the end came down to running TV ads showing Christie's body at particularly unflattering angles.  The only thing missing was the voiceover - "Chris Christie: too fat to run, too fat to govern"

Didn't help - Christie blew him away.  Although with Corzine it probably didn't help to run on a Goldman Sachs resume in 2009.

Cain is batshit crazy, but also by far the most honest-sounding and intelligent-looking candidate in the debates I have seen.

His resume is quite impressive and he doesn't seem to have that reflexive drive toward social puritanism that motivates most of the current crop of candidates.  I don't think I could vote for him, but I don't think he would be a Rick-Perry-level disaster if he were to be elected.

What about his resume is impressive?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Christie would be the next Rick Perry.  It's easy for people to salivate over you when you're not running.  Running a campagin is a whole other matter.  He's also more Huntsman than Bachmann when it comes to ideology/sanity balance, and that's just not what Republicans want right now.

Or Jon Corzine's resume, for that matter.
