"New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's loyalty to the Republican Party is being questioned after he refused to make a public endorsement of a possible GOP challenger to New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a move some say could hurt his chances of winning the 2016 GOP presidential nomination...Christie's spokesman and political consultant have refused to comment on the reports, according to the Post, and after the initial report suggesting Christie would back Astorino, Cuomo told the paper, "I spoke to Gov. Christie this morning, who told me the exact opposite."
So besides figuratively smooching Obama, making a really poor convention speech that wasn't what I'd call a ringing endorsement of Romney because it was more about himself and ragging on Rand Paul, now he won't even endorse the Republican candidate for NY governor and calls Cuomo to tell him?
The man has wasted his entire life. He's a Republican. This blowhard doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the presidency. His ideology reeks. When will Republicans learn that this country is moving away from the party of Dixie, which at its foundation is bigoted and has only the well-being of the rich in mind?
The guy is running in 2016. There's no way he's waiting until 2020 just to face of against an incumbent Dem or not having the opportunity to run at all. I wouldn't say I'm on the Christie bandwagon, as I think he's more style than substance; but he is an extremely savvy politician. Christie has a good pulse on the electorate and media and knows how to sell himself to them. He has the ability to draw female votes, independent votes, Hispanic votes, and African-American votes in a very blue state; and you could probably bet that he's going to pick someone like Susan Martinez or Nicki Haley as his running mate if he gets the GOP nomination to help sure up certain voting blocs(women/hispanics/southerners).

like the VP choices you listed, especially Susanna Martinez.
His problem is that he is just another so-called "mainstream" RINO kissing ******* backside in an attempt to broaden his appeal. That may work in many "blue" states where the majority of the electorate are idiots, but that tack will ultimately fail among "yellow dog" democrats.

Like it or not we have to have a candidate that has, either a lot of charisma or one that will attract the blue state voters. Almost any Republican will win in the red states, but many of the blue states are a little different. I am not saying he is our only shot, I do not feel that way at all, but I do think we have to be honest and realize it takes more than red to win. With the few names being thrown around from the left, many Democrats would support a Christie over the people being mentioned.
This guy is no moderate like some people seem to think. He is a union busting loud mouth bully who yells at women.
