Chris Christie?........maybe reconsidering according to NY Post
 

The NY Post has an article today that Gov. Christie might be reconsidering a White House run after being prodded by Republicans that he idolizes. Republican's like Henry Kissinger, Pres. George W. Bush and Nancy Reagan who encouraged him to run at the Reagan Library when he gave his speech on leadership on Tuesday.

Barbara Bush even called and spoke to Mrs. Christie to convince her the challenges in relation to her fears of family upheaval are indeed manageable.

Reports are he may give an answer as early as next week.

Oh the drama!; oh the anticipation!; oh brother.

Gov. Christie would be a good Candidate and would make debates very interesting. However, if he does not run, there is no other Rep. that will beat President Obama.

asbury park press reported yesterday that neither christie nor his reps had contacted larry bathgate for campaign $....yet.

with all of those folks applying pressure, seems to me that his campaign theme song should be...the heat is on!

First a NO, now it is Maybe, is a Yes coming soon? Not even a candidate and he is flip-flopping already.

I'm mocking this whole soap opera of ("will he, won't he; tune in tomorrow") of Chris Christie trying to decide if this is something he wants to do, but in all fairness, you've got to really want this to make yourself and your family (if we are to go by what the left did to Sarah Palin) the targets you will become before the lamestream media machine.

He wouldn't even win NJ.

I thought he already did.;)

54% approval rating in NJ. I know a certain President who would love for people to like him this much...........anywhere.

I believe Chris christie does not want to run. I also believe certain and influential Republicans keep after him to reconsider.

Frankly, I like him and wish he would run but I think he is smart to wait. meantime he is a big draw and campaign monies are flowing in republican coffers because of him.

Wall Street Journal reported that his speech "Earned American Exceptionalism" was exceptional and an idea campaign theme should he decide to run against Obama.


Stephen Henniger of the Wall Street Journal is a columnist I have great respect for. He wrote favorable about Herman Cain and believes hewarrants a closer look. He made mention that Cain's policies such as 9 9 9 etc can't be expalined in a 30 second sound bite. he has looked deeply into all of his proposal and feels they are solid

Richie,

Are you referring to former president GW Bush with your comment about being liked? Obviously, it is not President Obama who has a fairly low approval rating of 39% right now. Compare that, however, to GW Bush whose final approval rating was 22%. Even your hero, Jimmy Carter, has a much higher approval rating than GW Bush.

Ratings don't mean a hill of beans. Also , the longer you are out of office the higher the favorability goes up. Carter's favorability was so low when he left office it was off the chart.

Warren Harding has been out of office for a long time as has U.S. Grant.

Both are considered to be the worst and close to the worst presidents ever. Their rating have not gone up.

Using your logic, Obama with 39 % and still in office puts him in very good shape for reelection.

Yes, when B Hussein Obama Leaves office in January of 2013, his ratings might start to go up a little because people will be so very happy.;)

The Dems' biggest fear today is that Christie will say "yes" to running.

I hope your right, but with the weirdos the GOP keeps parading around, Obama is sure to win again.

And their next biggest fear is Cain winning the nomination.

Is he running again? I don't think he is allowed to. Try to stay with the conversation. We're talking about Chris maybe running against Barry. OK, back to you.

I have been asking for Christie from the first time I heard him address the public.

I don't think that is true. Cain would not be able to hold his own when it comes to foreign issues and several others. He could sure run the budget, but the president has little influence on the budget.

Are you saying he could do a worse job then the Community Organizer who is in the White House presently.


From little A C O R N s--Mighty Marxists Grow!!!!~

Christie will flame out faster than Perry. He is NOT a conservative on cap and trade, immigration, obamacare, and abortion (to some degree). There is no way he will win the Repub nomination unless he flipflops on them like Romney... AND no conservative can get traction.

I do not think it will matter anyways, because Obama has a record now, and it is a very, very, very poor record. If people voted for him because of Bush's economy, well enough said.;)

Yes he could. Obama has a good showing in all areas but spending money. Not as bad as the last man, but not good either. If Obama could get the budget fixed, he would be the best president we have ever had. If Boehner would get off the tea wagon, he would have that fixed.

Not really. 27 states have filed to have Obamacare repealed and his foreign policy is terrible. He tried to fix economy buy spending tax money. He is a dreadful failure. There is not enough time to put millions back to work before election. He is toast.

Thought you'd say burnt toast. :cus:

What's that supposed to :cus::cus::cus::cus:mean?

Think you know perfectly well. :cus:

Know I don't . Enlighten us with your deep wisdom. Your great one-liners.:cus::cus::cus:

It seems that behind the scenes the Bush family is behind a Christie candidacy. Does this make you more or less likely to support him?

Not a problem for me. I voted for Bush both times and would gladly vote for Christie. Just PLEASE keep the scum bag Perry out of the race.

Less. Of course it was zero before Bush support. :cus:

I only voterd for Bush to do my share for saving this country from the likes of Gore and Kerry. Less of two evils.

I would not listen to the Bush family except maybe Barbara

Did Rick Perry kick your dog or something?

I wonder what kind of stones would be thrown my way if I called B.Hussein Obama SCUMBAG?

LESS LIKELY ...
Plus I didn't like the comment that he reported made telling us that we need to vote moderate conservative to be sure to win. Another politician making decisions for us.

Don't ya just love the liberals telling the repubs that a moderate will win the election? They did that in 2008.

They ran an extremist left wing liberal and won. They want us to put another McCain against Obuma for us to lose again, Wake up people!!!

At least 90% of African Americans will vote for President Obama, most Hispanics will, most people under 35 will, most college educated will, most economically deprived will, most Democrats will, and most people with an IQ of 115 and above will all vote for Obama.:boxing2:

If Republicans put any kind of extremist or TeaBag darling up on any part of the ballot, a very large of Republican voters will either vote Democrat or stay home.

This will give another 4 years to President Obama.:a040:

What make you so certain that people who are really suffering and cannot find a job will vote for someone who does not care about their situation. Obama does not want people to prosper, he relishes that the economy is desperate and he can offer them "the share the wealth" crap. Obama does not know the working mentality, the working man "get ahead" attitude that made America great.

He made the economy terrible on purpose and is using it to use class warfare. Make the economy lousy and blame the capitalists.

I find this "man" despicable.
