NO, a loud mouth, over weight very big over weight unpoilshed bully. An embarrassment to the human race. The complete fool would not win his own state . A royal screw up and a out of control over eater and that is a real fact in addition to putting his really short over size fat feet in his over size mouth.

    What about the intellectually honest answer..."I Don't Know"?

      We don't need a foul-mouthed tea partier whose record in NJ is horrific. Take your pledges and take a hike, Mr Christie. We want a candidate who is willing to vote his position not his pledge and one who understands the value of compromise for our country. Stay in NJ - "NJ and you are purrrfect together" (past NJ Gov Tom Byrne)

      Well here's the skinny (no pun intended) on Christie. The budget cuts he's managed to push through the legislature have cut many programs, eliminated some and left our school districts short again this year of full funding. My property taxes went up over $500.00 this year when he's been running (well walking heavily) around this state promising lower property taxes. Well when you cut school funding what do you think happens to property taxes? He's just a right wing ideologue with a conservative agenda to gut government, throw everything into the private sector (including schools), disparage teachers and limit their ability to have a say in their working environment, decimate women's rights by defunding women's clinics, throwing parents off of family care and lowering the eligibilty to just over $5,000 annually to qualify for medicaid and family care (that means if your a family of 4 and the main breadwinner lost his/her job and health insurance with it, collecting unemployment will disqualify this family of 4 from getting familycare help to insure the children).....should I go on? I think not you all get the picture here. Well he'll do the same to the country that he's done here and it isn't pretty. When Christie gets through with NJ there will be no services for anyone in this state. It's the "you're on your own" agenda and that's what he will promote on the national level.

      Our nation was founded on a "you're on your own" agenda. Its exactly what we need to get back to in order to be the America we were and need to be again. The alternative is a national disaster with 10% of the populace paying the freight for everyone else....recipe for competitive failure on a global scale.

      heatwave - Our nation was founded on a number of antiquated principles....slavery being one of those founding principles....so just because our nation was founded on it doesn't make it right or just. We've evolved from then and we've decided as a nation that we are going to provide for our seniors and provide for poor children and adults. So your musing doesn't hold much water and is rather irrelevant to the arguments.

      I agree there is no one out there that can beat Obama and that is a fact. There is a lot of work to be done and we are ready to get started. The REPUBLICAN TEA PARTY is for sure not the deal for anyone and that is just the way it is. Doesn't matter what people or polls say, for no one has polled my house or ask me my thoughts to include in the tally in any of the polls. As for me and my house, we will be voting for Obama. My last comment is, I am ashame to be a white person because of the foolishness that is going on is terrible. It just make people think, is this the way I want to be known as, and my answer is as for me and my house we don't, and some of you people need to think the same way now.

      Run Christie Run. I'm from NJ and it would be a significant loss for our state but a great contribution to our nation if he runs.

      He is just what our nation needs...a leader that will honestly tell the public what needs to be done and then gets it done. He's a "Big Man for a Big Job".

      The libs are all freaking out because a real conservative is about to be elected as President, to go along with a conservative Senate about to be elected and an even more conservative House. Which will all be immediately followed by the stacking of the Supreme Court with Conservatives over the next 4 years that will finally get our nation back on the path that our Founding Fathers intended.

      Run Christie Run

      Christie said "This Sharia law business is crap. It's just crazy. And I'm tired of dealing with the crazies". He was talking about YOU the TeTanics , Bachmenn and Republicans. How can yo love him after this? Crazies?

        Christie is as arrogant as they come, almost in the Dick Cheney, it's my way or the highway, mode. He's a polished liar and is skilled at intimidation. His bloated image as president would represent around the world of an unfortunate stereotype of obese Americans. Be very afraid, America, if this man became president because nothing good will come from it - except for the very rich.

        Let's be brutally honest.  Christie should not run because his health is not good. He is obese, had a recent health scare, and he is a good candidate for a heart attack. The stress of a political campaign for president could cause his death.  I'm sure we do not know the truth of what his problems are because that is not information he would not want to put out here.

          Leave him alone he does not want to run and has made it perfectly clear!!

            Christie is at least objectively intelligent. That makes him a better candidate than about half the current field. His health is sure to be an issue though. Adding another flawed candidate might not make things better.

              Another amazing candidate from the right. This stooge choppers in to his kids ball game on the state dime keeping the State Police helicopter from actually doing some good. He is is bed with everyone with a checkbook apparently and can you say Soprano's This is almost as good a laugh as Palin. In fact toss them both back in and sell tickets

                    It's funny about the, "Anyone But That Black Guy", panic. Those who have been trying to roadblock everything this President has tried to put forward just so he will not have anything credible political capital will be doing so at their own political peril. It's already happening to Gov. Rick Perry. The thing about hatred, sometimes, one is so filled with it, they that hardly realize their ship has been sinking until the bow is slowly descending vertically in the waters. This is what hate does; it makes them so short sighted they are now all drowning in their own noise.

                      Just what we Republicans need - another know-it-all from up North to tell us how to run our lives because he's some kind of "savior"... Herman Cain is the man - he has less electoral experience than Obama, but more intelligence (just read one of Obama's "off-the-cuff" responses and you'll see he cannot put a good sentence together!), and ALL THE EXPERIENCE on how to manage tough situations... But of course, I'm in a minority on that choice (even though I'm caucasion)... So, next year we'll see the Republican establishment put "their" person on the ticket because they are afraid of a real conservative running - and we'll lose to Obama and the MSM's endless put downs of honest Americans who just want Washington out of our lives...

                        Christie would be an improvement over Obama. At least Christie wouldn't waste his time or ours for that matter, making excuses and playing the blame game. This nation really does need a leader in the White House. Obama has proved he doesn't know the first thing about leadership. Obama is a community agitator and his lectures..ops..speeches prove it.

                        Tony,

                        Have you watched any of the republican debates or listened to Christie on 60 minutes a few months back???
                        There was quite a bit of "blame-game" going round and round....

                        MSNBC needs to ask better questions. Always promoting Obama and his failed policies. Holding back on true news reports that would make Obama’s performance look bad.

                          The only dependable media outlet, Fox News, has reported Christie will not run. So save your ignorance comments and try to find a job.
