If Christie announces he is running, the nomination is his.
What better way to stop a half-term governor than recruiting someone with even less experience?
Being U.S. Attorney in New Jersey for eight years is clearly meaningless!
Just like being state senator in Illinois was.
Uh...being U.S. Attorney in New Jersey is obviously more important than being a two term State Senator that abstained an unusual amount of the time.
Why?
Hmm.
I certainly fail to see how being a U.S. Attorney would better prepare someone for being President than being a State Senator would, whether someone subjectively sees the job as more ''important'' or not. I would imagine that State Senators deal with a considerably wider range of issues.
