Coulter makes sense for once...kind of.

[Keystone Phil]

She suggests that we run Christie (good). If we don't run him, Romney will be the nominee (not necessarily) and we will lose (not a bad bet).

She makes no sense. Christie didn't even beat Obama here in NJ.

And when asked why the U.S. should support Israel knowing that there are jailed dissidents and journalists, she joked, "What do you mean? I think there should be more jailed journalists."

"Here's a lesson of history: Do not allow Democrats anywhere near foreign policy. Not even to keep them away from domestic policy. It's a mistake to ask those who don't even like democracy to defend it," she said.




Yep, she makes sense all right.

Ah, I missed that Obama vs. Christie race. What year was that?

A Republican doesn't need NJ to win so I don't even understand what the point is that you're trying to make.

No, she doesn't makes sense even there. As mentioned above Christie was crushed by Obama at the last New Jersey poll.
I don't even think that Coulter is that interested about the prospects of Republican victory. She just said that to make herself relevant again. She is the same woman after all who said in 2006 that she would vote for Hillary if McCain was the nominee.

I was making the point that if Christie can't win in his own state, it doesn't spell good for the rest of the country.

Again, that doesn't make sense. New Jersey is a lot more blue than the nation as a whole. If Mitt Romney runs, does anyone really expect him to carry Massachusetts?

And who was the last Republican to carry NJ?

Ok so at least stay on topic.

 

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Which, as Rowan correctly pointed out, is irrelevant. He would be running against Obama for President of the United States of America, not New Jersey.

Exactly. NJ has changed quite a bit in the past 20 years and if anyone expects any Republican to win the presidential vote here, they are nuts.

And I think we had a Republican President since then. Christie doesn't need New Jersey to win the Presidency.

[Gustaf]

The question to ask is of course when was the last time a Democrat won without New Jersey? And I believe the answer to that is 1976.

Of course he isn't going to win New Jersey. To point that out is extremely meaningless.

We shouldn't expect anything else from certain members here.

Not winning it is one thing.
Not even making it competitive when he is supposedly so beloved, is another.

[DrScholl]

The problem is, he's not even within striking distance in the polling of New Jersey, so that doesn't say a whole lot about crossover appeal. A sitting governor who can't pull at least an even number in his own state is going to have problems elsewhere.

In a swing state, sure that would make sense. But Obama won NJ by 15 points last time.

Px doing the only thing he knows how to do: changing the subject.

No one has said he is beloved. He has an approval rating around 50%. In New Jersey, that's excellent. He's popular but not beloved. They just don't want him running for President but if you think it won't be competitive and make Obama spend time and money there, you're wrong. At least you're consistent though.

[DrScholl]

In a swing state, sure that would make sense. But Obama won NJ by 15 points last time.

But if Christie can't even pull even in his own state, where is his viability? The whole point of him being mentioned as a contender is because he was elected Governor in a blue state, but if that's not translating into good presidential poll numbers, then he's got no viability.

In states like Ohio, Florida, Indiana, etc. where Republicans HAVE to win to win the presidency. NJ would just be icing on the cake.

I'm not making the point that Republicans need New Jersey to win, I am making the point that Christie's crossover appeal isn't that big in his own state and it's not a good sign that he can have that appeal elsewhere.
