I’m wondering if the Democratic Powers that Be …

[1StrongBlackMan]

Have been largely silent on Christie because he will be the campaign season gift that keeps on giving to Democrats, with the biggest gift being a complete and final split in the republican party.

It is without question that Christie is toxic to beck and the tea-party, who are beyond disgusted with Christie … I mean he actually hugged President Obama while accepting Federal aid and dollars.

If he were to run for President, the beck/tea-party/lunatic wing of the republican party might just break off, splitting the republican vote for the next few election cycles.

And that’s not to mention all the stuff about Christie that is already in the public record … he might look like a viable candidate; but we seem to be giving him far more credit than he deserves.

1. Christie will be a disaster in Peoria. He's okay for Jersey but nationally..no go..n/t

2. He would never make it through the RW loon primaries. nt

3. Using that logic, Dems should all call and publicly

Congratulate Christie. But I don't think that is the calculus. Dems are wisely worried about a charismatic GOP governor repositioning himself as bipartisan.

4. How is ...

standing back and letting him proceed, unmolested, because the evidence indicates that his nomination and/or run will encourage a split of the republican party, anything like calling and publically congratulating christie?

Though ... if President Obama were to do it ... it would likely further the beck/tea-party/lunatic fringe's scorn.
