Only an amateur politico will think the TeaBaggers will primary out Christie.

The TeaBaggers are a brought and paid for swat team of the Koch brothers and can be turned on a dime.

There is also bigger money interests than the Koch brothers and if they conclude it is time to pull them in, it will happen as slow or as fast as they wish.

How it will play out I'm not sure but... IMO it would seem to be in the interest of the money people to send the TeaBaggers to pasture for a couple of yrs.

But the Kochs didn't get a big return on their money last election. Money isn't always the deciding factor.

actions. They can turn them on or off at will, so to think they will aromatically force out Christie in the primaries 3 yrs off is fools gold.

Christie would have to select a semi-nut job (like a Palin) so that the craziest part of the GOP will stay engaged.

The GOP establishment wants to keep its attack dog on a leash, but keep it barking.
