The One Good Thing About New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie's Public Statement Re: Sandy

Last edited Tue Oct 30, 2012, 03:22 AM - Edit history (2)

The ONE single thing I like about that clip being played over and over again, is the praise he, a republican governor keeps giving our president. Every time that clip plays I bet Romney grinds his teeth because his message that Obama is incapable is being countered. Over and over on national news the people hear that we have a good president. (So why change?) This is better then any paid ad.

and it will be good for Christie in 2016 (bad in the primaries, but good in the General election if he wins and is still living by then).

have crazy as shit ideas, but strike me as sincere people. I used to think that
about McCain until last Sunday on MTP and his trashing of Obama and handling of Libya

There are some republicans who strike me as honest people

There is 1 republican with the most to gain by a Romney loss. Guess who? He is an instant favorite for 2016. Mittens wins, and he probably will never see the White House.

I saw it live on weather underground, you can't find it anywhere anymore, which is pretty scary, IMO. He was playing politics he doesn't give a shit.

be used if he runs in 2016.

I'm not saying he isn't being genuine in his praise -- just saying he's not dumb enough to play politics in a crisis like this.
