Can Christie Escape?

[Danzig]

count me in as one who thinks christie has no shot in the primaries.

mitt got hammered for saying it's an etch a sketch, where you portray yourself one way to get the nomination, and then another to get in office. it's too bad that honesty (in that particular instance) isn't the best policy. it's absolutely true. you have to pander to your base, so you can get your base to support you to get the nom.
in other words, until the republican party finds a better base, they're going to find taking the white house a very, very tough proposition. whichever candidate best kisses the koch bro's asses, and caters to the far right 'small govt in name only' people the most convincingly will get the nomination. and then they have to move far enough to center to not aggravate that same group, while trying to get everyone else to forget everything they said in the primaries, without appearing as a hypocrite.
very tall order. everyone harkens to reagan, but i don't even think the repubs would vote for him these days.

the republican party continues to slowly commit suicide, with less and less people calling themselves republicans. they've gone too kooky.
