(5,611 posts)He is far too centrist for their views --I am not saying for MINE of course -- I am not trying to argue for Christy. I have noticed that the tea baggers really dislike Christy; they genuinely seem to be terrified that a "New Jersey" type, the "New Jersey governor," will get the nomination over their beloved Rand Paul or Rubio.

It's not at all about weight....right?

(12,693 posts)The National Alliance of Elephants, the Elephant Union, and the International Association of Prehensile Proboscises have all issued statements criticizing Time for comparing Chrisco Christie to their species.
"One of us is a huge, loud, lumbering animal, and the other is an elephant" said Sally Trunk, NAE spokeselephant, "we resent being compared to Republicans and other lower life forms."
