When it comes to the Republican nomination, Christie seems to be the elephant in the room.
He has gravitas, his entrance will make a big splash and will possibly squeeze out some other candidates.

All things said, he sure has a hefty resume and it's pretty obvious why many Republicans see him as the 800-pound gorilla of the presidential field..

as long as a naked picture of him holding his wee-wee don't surface, he should be as happy as a hog with a full trough of slop.

I am all for Christie, Palin, Ryan, Guiliani, and every other Republican outside of Rand Paul running.

Christie really is one of the Republicans' best choices here. He has the right kind of temperment, and frankly, he'd fill a void -- Republicans have no candidate they can get excited about who is actually electable.

The only question -- experience. Will the public be okay electing someone with only three years' experience in the executive? Will his time as U.S. Attorney count as "experience?"

True, if only Christie has a few years as a community organizer of something under his belt I would feel much better about his candidacy.

Well, at least he overcompensates with what's over his belt.

Also, he needs to get his health in order. Lose some weight. I'm not sure he could do the strenuous campaigning that would be required.

I dunno.

I personally think its high time we started electing people that LOOK American.

The best part is that some of the people here that complain about Christie don't have room to talk. Pun intended.

I haven't been insulted like that since the time I went to the beach and some Greenpeace activists tried to throw me back to the sea.

He should do a write in campaign, like Mario Cuomo

[Reluctant Republican]

Given the man has asthma and is morbidly obese, I really think he should get his weight in order. If only for the sake of himself and his family. Running for office is a stressful experience, and he should probably get his personal health taken care of first.

That said, I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my remarks on heavier people, if it came across as a bit insulting. If Christie can run for governor, he can run for president.

Excellent. Anything to take votes away from that neo-con, fundamentalist Rick Perry is fine by me.
