Who would be happier of Chris Christie was chosen as Mittens running mate Dem's or Re thugs?

[Robyn66]

Personally, I find him rude, crude and offensive. I cringe at the thought of Christie ever being in a position of needing to be diplomatic, and I think that the majority of Americans would too. When I see Romney and Christie together it looks like something straight from the Soprano's The Mob Guy and the thug, or maybe just two thugs.

The re thugs I have seen, (Morning Joe for 5 seconds this morning) seem to regard Romney/Christie as a wet dream because Christie will defend Romney from the big bad Dem's.

What do you all think?

1. He'd overshadow Romney all the time

They think his 'blunt talk' (really it is rude and crude and just plain name calling) would appeal to blue collar types, I guess. I don't think in the long run he would be any great asset to Romney. He certainly couldn't deliver NJ either.

3. I think he would scare the shit out of Romney !!

And I think there is a very good chance there would be plenty of embarrasing moments caused by Christie. I think of him like a male version of Sarah Palin.

2. He Would Be Mitts Junkyard Dog

While he may be great as a "protector" from the press and those "evil dems" lurking around the camp site he would also be a huge liability if he gets loose and attacks the press,any foreign leaders C.C. takes exception to and just by his aggressive stance would push Mitt into the background.

5. I dont think Paul Ryan would be better

I think he looks like a House Elf from Harry Potter!

4. Can Christie handle the rigors of a nationwide campaign? He is not in the best of physical

condition.

I can already see from some of the recent pictures that Rmoney seems to be losing weight and looks a bit gaunt and ragged.

7. As we have all seen campaigns are very taxing

when people become tired they become short tempered, Christie could completely lose it and blow up all over the place so PLEASE CHOOSE CHRIS CHRISTIE!

9. If he did, seeing the VP debate would be priceless.

Plain spoken, not afraid to speak the truth, master of the zinger, Biden vs
Loud mouth, bully Christie.

That would be a debate :p

10. Christie is a douchebag and asshole

Anyone who has seen over 100 Bruce Springsteen concerts and still treats the working class like shit is nothing but a giant Douchebag.

The Atlantic has a great article about the Christie/Springsteen 'relationship'. Christie brags about what a big fan he is and how great Bruce Springsteen is and Bruce basically ignores him even when they are in the same room.

11. Christie is poison for the GOP

Mark my words. His boisterous, confrontational behavior may score big points with the Fox Lemmings, but will be a complete turn off for independents and moderates

I couldn't envision a better self destruct sequence for the GOP than to put Christie in the VP slot. I would anticipate a glut of viral YouTube sharing.

13. Like I said......................

14. Certainly not the airplane pilots - changes the weight distribution.

17. Plus, he's scary to women. Also old people.

He reminds me of how Jackie Gleason would threaten Alice with his fist and snarl "One of dese days, Alice, POW right in the kisser!"
