Our prayers might be answered: Christie to decide on 2012 bid.

I don't dislike Romney because he is Mormon, that may be one of his few redeeming qualities.

No I dislike him because I saw him run for President the day he got elected here, I saw him run for Senate as a different person, and I saw him destroy the Mass GOP. If you want a Mass gov who was any good, why not William Weld?

As to Christie, I could see him take more votes from the crowd that was for Bachmann now Perry--they are looking for a "tough talking" fighter, who will take the screws to the President. That is not Romney's image, but that is certainly Christie's.

What damage did Mitt do to the MA GOP, that wasn't already inflicted when he got there? The early 1990's improvements were wiped out in 1996 thanks to Bill Clinton. It's also hard to blame him for Healey's flaws and poor campaign and Bush's unpopularity in the state in 2006.

"I am just not arrogant enough to claim that 8 years as US Atty, and 2 years as Governor is enough to qualify me to be President of the US"

-Chris Christie on Face the Nation a month or two ago.


How the hell does he walk that back?

Hunstman said in interview that he planned to "place" in NH, take second in SC and bring it home in FL.

It was either Meet the Press or ABC's "This Week W/ C. A. (You spell her name out? )".

But I remember he said "that he planed to place in NH, take second in SC, and bring it home in FL".

It was right after the debate where they were asked to raise there hands on whether or not they would vote for various debt deals.
