What type of Democrat would vote for Chris Christie?

[kentuck]

And why?

[el_bryanto]

1. A conservative Democrat I would guess

Someone who is a democrat, but is frustrated and irritated by the changes the modern world imposes on him or her. Chris Christie gives just enough coverage that they can mentally justify voting for him.

Bryant

[Skidmore]

2. No one that could be called a Democrat

that I know of.

[EC]

3. someone that doesn's know any better.

just like when they voted for Reagan...they don't know their policies, don't know how it will affect their lives and really don't believe it makes any difference.

6. centrist squishes, the dreaded "I vote for the man/woman, not the party or ideology"

types.

7. the type that voted for Arnold in California

8. I am shocked, appalled, and frankly DISGUSTED by the amount of Dems

Voting for Christie this election. They can go eff themselves.

9. Well the LaRouchers call themselves "democrats" so do Toby Keith and Fred Phelps. And theres John

Barrow and that Manchin guy from W. VA and Ben Nelson and all the other DLC/DINOS.

10. The same blue collar types

that voted for Scott Brown in MA back a few years ago. They like his angry bullying tough guy bravado. They like someone who "tells it like (they think) it is".

I think what people are seeing (being from a neighbor state myself that provides the media market for South Jersey) is that in order to rise above the noisy political din, one has to be an attention-getter (like Booker was) or some "dynamic" figure. Otherwise from what I have observed from Jerseyites, is that the "all politics is local" thing sets in and the electorate ignores the state-level election in favor of their local county and municipal elections.

If you look at the past history of the Democrats in some of the major NJ cities, you'll see a revolving door of corruption and jail time (Camden, Trenton, AC, etc).

11. I am fairly certain that more people vote on personality than on policy. n/t

12. An asshole. nt

[KamaAina]

13. The kind that voted for Reagan.

Why? As my feminist mentor used to call it, "cranial testosterone poisoning". Though I'm sure there are some women in the category, too, even though the Dem is female.
