The One and a Half?
Rocks on September 9, 2010 at 10:44 PM
23 minutes? I’ll pencil it in after the game.
El_Terrible on September 9, 2010 at 10:44 PM
We need a male president with large, floppy breasts.
It’s our only hope.
rickyricardo on September 9, 2010 at 10:46 PM
Christie makes fat look very, very sexy.
bloghooligan on September 9, 2010 at 10:48 PM
the troopers that protect this guy LOVE him. you can quote me on that.
sbvft contributor on September 9, 2010 at 10:50 PM
Yeup…
Seven Percent Solution on September 9, 2010 at 10:53 PM
I’ve always been attracted to men who looked like they would look at you and say something like “you know, I don’t want to kick your ass, but keep pushin…”.
Christie looks like that kind of man. Less talk, more action, no apologies. That’s not only sexy, but super effin sexy.
Obama on the other hand reminded me of that guy with the jherri curl in Coming to America, who ran and hid when Samual L cam into MacDowells with the sawed off.
bloghooligan on September 9, 2010 at 10:53 PM
His endorsement of Castle ruined it for me. Sorry.
takeamericabackin10 on September 9, 2010 at 10:55 PM
Da-mn! I don’t care, Christie’s still the man!
orfannkyl on September 9, 2010 at 10:57 PM
As a New Jerseyan, I voted for him and love him….but his endorsement of Castle scares me. Unionbusting….great, fiscally….great, just not sure we can totally count on him to be solid conservative. For God’s sake, it still is NJ.
Dan Pet on September 9, 2010 at 10:58 PM
Castle, immigration, and GZM knocked him down a ways for me… still too soon for him anyway.
davek70 on September 9, 2010 at 10:59 PM
When he stood shoulder to shoulder with Castle and called him a conservative, he instantly lost all credibility with me.
takeamericabackin10 on September 9, 2010 at 11:01 PM
Ron Paul 2012
Spathi on September 9, 2010 at 11:03 PM
I liked the part with the horses and the fireworks.
The rest of it was good too.

Mark my words:
This man will be President one day.
You-Eh-Vee on September 9, 2010 at 11:05 PM
A foul smell is in the air……………………
they thought the Elephants were in decline……..
but,like any jackass’s,Donkey’s over-estimated…..
they thought they slewed the Conservative movement….
but a sh*t spark,was in the air……………
and the Political air is dense with Democrat fuel…
then…..Christie dropped a political fuel/air gizmo….
and it lit up Corzi’s 30 million bucks up in smoke……
and called Chris Christie,basically,”Fat B*stard”…….
the Sh*t Storm was beginning to stir………
Corzines record was scrutenized…………
and the Sh*t winds blew in Christies favour……….
then,it broke out across the Leftoid spectrum MSM…..
Chris Christie won the Governor of New Jersey…….
and….it blew into a Category #5 Sh*t Hurricane……
which then,covered the disbelievers,pundits,pollsters,
and MSM Operatives……..
the Sh*t Hurricane was in full blown mode……….
the teacher unions tried to attack Christie…but Chris’s
calculated comebacks…blew those unions back,where they
belong…….
…the Teacher Union attacked Christie and wished him dead……
to no avail….the Sh*t Storm was still rageing……
..even past the Fourth of July…………

CWforFreedom on September 9, 2010 at 11:06 PM
Yes, Davek70. I agree. Too early. He would make a great Attorney General though for a corruption busting president. With his corruption busting as a prosecutor…would be a great combo.
Dan Pet on September 9, 2010 at 11:09 PM
Nice guy. Not conservative.
faraway on September 9, 2010 at 11:09 PM
Sure, I love the guy.
But the timing is just AP’s naked plug for Castle.
Boooooooo.
Saltysam on September 9, 2010 at 11:09 PM
The RGA rocks.
publiuspen on September 9, 2010 at 11:10 PM
While I believe what Christie has done is to take the battle to the Teacher’s Union is very smart, it is still going to be difficult to keep the teachers out of the battle. How he maintains the offensive will be to increase his credibility in fiscal responsibility, and remain honest.
Rode Werk on September 9, 2010 at 11:12 PM
The Castle thing, I can live with. The GZM stance leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But it was the use of “comprehensive immigration reform” that was the deal breaker for me. Those code words mean one thing: amnesty. No thanks.
TxAnn56 on September 9, 2010 at 11:13 PM
Nice Post..Sums it up well for me..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:15 PM
Yeah, watching during commercials.
XWing5 on September 9, 2010 at 11:15 PM
Collingsworth is right for once. It’s a timing issue. They’re just off tonight.
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:16 PM

The GOP sure is desperate. Christie has done a few great things and suddenly he’s the next Obama. That demi-god thing’s working out swell. And Christie’s been a gov how long?
Pretty sure NJ needs him to stay there and fix the state instead of being an absent governor running a national campaign.
conservative pilgrim on September 9, 2010 at 11:20 PM
Me too.
He is pretty much dead to me as potential national candidate.
Norwegian on September 9, 2010 at 11:20 PM
You were advocating for it earlier. Ed wasn’t listening, I guess.
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:20 PM
C’mon, folks! For a Dem state like New Jersey, he’s a breath of fresh air. And if Fiorina beats Boxer, hoo-ah!

Do you think Favre will make it through the season?

Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:23 PM
THAT WAS THE MOST AWESOME REPUBLICAN VIDEO MESSAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN. THAT WAS AWESOME. My wife and I laughed and agreed when Rush said, “Is it wrong to love another man.”, because we both love GovCC (C), but it’s really about this incredible man that seems to have the Republican/Conservative message down to a tee. Okay, I didn’t like his BS recommendation in Delaware, but it WAS low key and I think it might have been due to a compromise deal. Even Jesus had a bad day or two that he would have liked to have been less remembered. Like kicking butt on those money-changers. What’s NOT awesome about that. I know Jesus was out of character but dang, arseholes and elbows!
griv on September 9, 2010 at 11:23 PM
But, let me aks you…Never mind.
azkenreid on September 9, 2010 at 11:25 PM

PS..This will be the last year for him..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:25 PM
He’s been in that Steve Young concussion age for a couple years now.
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Probably the best of the RINOs
but still a RINO. No thanks
james23 on September 9, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Yeah yeah, heard it all before when Jindal was The One. Let the man do more than cut spending, let’s see how he runs the state for awhile.
Bishop on September 9, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Yes he is a breath of fresh air..Fiorina would be awesome over Boxer?..Do you think Whitman beats “Moonbeam” Brown?..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:28 PM
O/T Meggie Mac is a real POS. ON TDS she said she felt bad about being called a stripper when a pregnant teen was around. Eat it you fat ugly ho.
Aquateen Hungerforce on September 9, 2010 at 11:29 PM
OMG. Game over. One of first ads on tv was from Meg Whitman. It was brutal. It was a clip of Clinton vs Jerry Brown in a debate where Clinton gave brown a whooping. Wow.
El_Terrible on September 9, 2010 at 11:29 PM
@Dire Straights, @John the Libertarian—
I like Favre. But he isn’t moving well. He got decent protection tonight, but one hit and he’s toast. He looked winded too.
The Saints looked impressive.
conservative pilgrim on September 9, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Very good analysis..Farve and Young are very comparable..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:31 PM
I’ll stop being OT. Back to Super Christie.
conservative pilgrim on September 9, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Yep, Whitman is buying the governorship. I really don’t know enough about her, but I like the idea of business execs taking over to clean some fiscal house.
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:32 PM
DO NOT STRIP REGGIE OF THE HEISMANN
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:33 PM
I agree he is slowing down but I think the Vikes are still in very good shape and could go deep in the Playoffs if not go all the way..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:34 PM
Yup. I was giggling my arse off. Like Zombie at PJM said, the man is a political junkie in the worst sense.
John the Libertarian on September 9, 2010 at 11:35 PM
They have not yet?..Is he and Kim Kardashian still an item?
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:36 PM
That was excellent! Really excellent!
This video is surely making the White House all wee weed up.
Barbour/Christi
..and yes the mike castle thing was his one mistake but he’s entitled to one...
katy on September 9, 2010 at 11:37 PM
Interesting. I imagine most people will do a double take and wonder if Bill Clinton is running for office? He’s sharp. Clever ad. How will Republicans like Whitman using B Clinton in her ad?
conservative pilgrim on September 9, 2010 at 11:38 PM
got to throw in the GZM issue and stance on immigration too..
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:39 PM
Right…
here’s my

A vote for Ron Paul in 2012, will do for us, what Ross P. did “to us” in the election of Bill Clinton in 1992.

I like it very much too..Glad you enjoy it..:)
Dire Straits on September 9, 2010 at 11:48 PM
Okay I watched randomly… the last two minutes was worth watching I think.
As a leader of this party Christie is what we have been looking for. It’s too bad he doesn’t have more experience and could run for President in 2012. Or at least he should focus on actually sticking with his plan for New Jersey until he turns things around.
He has that really direct East Coast way about him that can seem pretty mean to us in the West.
But he may be the one.

I think the same thing of Palin, but in reverse. She’s too West Coast accomodating/kind, it’s a regional thing.

Oh please stop being such silly lame-os
blatantblue on September 10, 2010 at 12:07 AM
As a former Jerseyite, the property taxes drove me out of Jersey. Christie’s message is spreading the wealth around.
And in a very good way.
Kini on September 10, 2010 at 12:08 AM
Everyone thinks he’s dead as a presidential force?
Go look at Reagan during campaigns, before he was the conservative savior. He would have been TORN TO SHREDS HERE.

Mojave Mark on September 10, 2010 at 12:21 AM
DUDE. Sending money to the RGA now. Keep it up, folks!
I gotta say that Christie in a well-lit video with high production values is somehow not as cool as Christie kicking arse on someone’s camera phone. If we can get a Nicki Haley under those lights and in front of those expensive cameras, however…. GOLD.
At least the Repubs have finally started hiring people who have actually, you know, touched a camera before.

Dire Straits on September 10, 2010 at 12:37 AM
There is a young man named Timmy Teepel. Bobby Jindal found him and he will be a rock star. He is Bobby’s Chief of Staff. He is currently on a leave of absence, working for the RGA/Haley Barbour. His dad is brilliant and works for a big Advertising agency. With this young mans talent, Haley Barbour’s experience and the RGA’s money, the next 26 months are going to be VERY interesting.
One big note: Bobby Jindal has loaned his chief of staff to Haley Barbour who plans to run against Obama in 2012. That is a HUGE amount of cooperation for someone who had his own shot in 2016.
barnone on September 10, 2010 at 12:39 AM
He’s a shill for the national Republican Establishment. They have been releasing negative material on O’Donnell to reporters on the sly. As he’s not running in 2012, they used him to prop up Castle. Another GOP puppet. But no Christie now, ever.
csThor on September 10, 2010 at 12:42 AM
You know, that speaks volumes to me right there. It reminds me of the tales I read about how various POTUSs (“PsOTUS?”) treated the Secret Service (e.g., Bush being decent enough to make sure the guys had a chance to eat, and Clinton treating them like the equivalent of the towel tied to the dorm-room doorknob).
Speaks to the character of a guy in ways that dueling policy stances leave unilluminated.
I like him markedly more, if what you say is true…floppy moobs and all!
Noocyte on September 10, 2010 at 12:44 AM
Your gotta worry about anyone who is Morning Joe’s favourite Republican.
csThor on September 10, 2010 at 12:47 AM
Trying to rehabilitate Christie after his FAIL on the GSM, are we? Not going to happen until he backtracks. For a guy who doesn’t like “escape hatches” he sure hemmed and hawed and eventually came out on the wrong side.

RINO in Name Only on September 10, 2010 at 1:12 AM
Thanks for the info. That explains a lot. I have noticed several LSM outlets going after Barbour already. You know they will always tell you who they fear…
d1carter on September 10, 2010 at 1:14 AM
I really liked that video … though bits of the montage at the end were kind of random. Marilyn Monroe? Iwo Jima?
Rosmerta on September 10, 2010 at 1:14 AM
If he can say, and stick to saying, I believe in smaller government, less spending, and empowering states to settle social issues like gay marriage and abortion, this man will be president.
cpaulus on September 10, 2010 at 1:30 AM
I think I just came.
Purple Fury on September 10, 2010 at 1:30 AM
For those who consider him a RINO, I’m afraid no candidate is going to be ideologically pure enough for you.
I don’t like everything about him, but I like enough about him to think he’s a great leader with wonderful potential.
