Have to say, he is an excellent spokesperson for the GOP- cannot stand the man but he does his job as anti-Obama hitman quite well. Seem he really made the rounds this morning- the site of him makes me gag.

When he was going to be able to moderate his "severely conservative" rhetoric by erasing the Etch-a-Sketch?
When he was going to display his foreign policy creds on a trip to Europe and the Middle East?
When he was going to introduce (or reintroduce?) himself at the convention?

None of those things panned out at all. In fact, they were backslides. Every time I get nervous about these debates changing the picture, I think of these recent previous attempts to turn everything around. Epic fails, all.

At least he's honest on that point, unlike the "skewed polls" crew.

sedatives, booze and have a debilitating case of pneumonia to lose, and he could probably pull it off, even then.

Mitt might have zingers, but President Obama has consistently shown that he doesn't run from them, he presses right back with jabs of his own.

My prediction is that halfway in the middle of the debate, Mitt realizes the "zingers" approach doesn't work, then he goes off script. That will in turn lead to a meltdown of Ross Perot's VP nominee's (can't remember his name) proportions.

But, The bloviated bag of bullshit that is Chris Christy is just a fat bully that seems to have a talent for steamrolling people, I'd love to debate that fat bag of excrement by the time i was done he'd need a triple bypass, as unlike the weak people that he can scare with his big mouth and fat ass I'd take it to him with fact after fact all with proof and watch his B.S. crumble into dust, But I can only dream , Hey Chris, Fuck you you fat assed bully.
Sorry folks that a-- hole brings it out in me

and Christie at most can be Jeb's VP if he kisses Jeb's butt alot

If he ran for reelection in NJ, he will lose. If I were CC, I would retire and become a big Ralph Kramden talking head and make billions.
(except that Ralph was a Nixon fan).
