4 more years of Obama and then 4 years of Chris Christie and a Dem in 2020 ?

[JI7]

what do you all think of this ? Obama gets 4 more years. Chris Christie will get 4 years after that. and it will go back to Dems in 2020.

[tridim]

1. I think it sounds like crap.

Christie is an idiot.

[freshstart]

5. Agreed!

[JaneQPublic]

20. Agreed. A better scenario: Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley in 2016

and re-elected in 2020.

[roguevalley]

27. Christie has a 24% approval rating in New Jersey. His weight and the resulting bad health he had

will kill him before that. Look at his face. There is illness there. Christie is a pipe dream that cannot hold up to scrutiny and he is a fat mouthed abuser of people. Also, I think he's crooked too. He's a pipe dream.

[gkhouston]

2. I think you need to step away from the talking points.

I can't think of any reason to assume the 2016 election has been decided, much less in favor of that brain dead bone stupid gasbag.

Now, as for my unvarnished opinion...

[unkachuck]

3. four more years of Obama....

....is a long time for fat-man and his fat heart to wait....things might happen....

[Roselma]

4. no...4 more years of Obama where he finally gets the country

on his feet, followed by 4 or 8 years of Elizabeth Warren. Chris Christie is too nasty to appeal to decent people.

[JI7]

7. he was able to win in a Blue State though it might have had more to do with vote against Corzine

[Tx4obama]

22. Elizabeth Warren will be no way ready to run in 2016. Her resume` will still be too thin.

Other than having a law degree and teaching law - basically her only experience has been with financial issues.
Even now as she is running for The U.S. Senate we had not heard how stands on the majority of 'other' issues - basically she's only publicly spoken on financial/economy related issues.

Don't get me wrong, I think Warren is great! But she would not be ready to run in 2016.

[think]

36. Just saw CNN talking up the Obama / Clinton ticket and setting Hillary up to run for 2016

Obviously just the rumor mill but lot's of rumors in this regards as of late...

[Tx4obama]

37. I can't believe folks at still pushing that meme and still rumor-mongering on TV and blogs

Hillary has publicly stated that she will NOT run for public office again in the future.
She wants to retire and focus on women's issues globally and also be able to spend time with grand-babies when they arrive.

p.s. And months ago President Obama asked VP Joe Biden to run on the 2012 ticket with him and Biden said 'YES'.

[CTyankee]

31. Chris Christie likes to verbally slap women around.

He's like a modern version of Ralph Kramden bellowing "To the moon, Alice!" while brandishing his fist at her in stark rage.

That Christie does it with sarcasm ain't any better. We see the anger seething beneath the snideness. The fact that he is physically large makes him look more menacing, kind of like the wifekiller Raymond Burr played in "Rear Window." Really chilling...

[Liberal Veteran]

6. How about Obama gets 4 more years in office and Christie gets 4 years in prison?

Do we have a deal?

(Not that I am really aware of anything criminal Christie has done, but it seems like one doesn't have to do more than scratch the surface to find a corrupt republican.)

[Ikonoklast]

8. Christie will NEVER be elected president of this nation. Bank that.

His appeal is next to nil outside his niche.

[onehandle]

18. Yep. nt

[Charlemagne]

9. It seemed like Christie

Didnt want to run because

1. He knew he wouldnt win against Obama

2. The economy isnt going to get better that quick so why take control and get blamed for a sluggish economy.


Yeah I think he is waiting until the next rodeo.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Isn't Christie unpopular in his own state?

I recall reading that his approval ratings are in 20-30% range. Four years should be plenty of time for the rest of the country to find out just why his own state doesn't like him. Plenty of time for more dirt to be found under his carpet, too.

[Charlemagne]

12. What is the norm for appr. rating in NJ?

Seems like that would be a hard place to govern.

oh, and BTW....looks like you guys and the my Redlegs will be battling it out for the NL central this season.

[Renew Deal]

11. Jeb

[Charlemagne]

14. Will people go for that?

Or will they still have the taste of saltwater and vinegar in their mouths from shrub? HW Bush said the 'the country didnt want another bush (or something to that effect)" in 2007/8.

[stevenleser]

21. There are some ugly skeletons in that closet.

- Wife spending sprees overseas and then not declaring them upon re-entering the country (and got caught)

- Affairs.

- Children with drug problems that were treated with heavy hands to make an example of them while people like Limbaugh and others got off scott free.

etc.

[RZM]

13. Obama will probably get four more

But it's anybody's guess what the landscape will look like in 2016. It's already quite different from that of 2008. After eight years of one party, people are often ready for a change, so that might bode well for the Republicans in 2016. But you never know. I doubt it will be Christie though. If the Republican climate is anything like what it is today, he would have an uphill battle for the nomination.

In fact, it's an open question what Christie could do in politics once he's done being governor. A failed presidential run and he's back to the private sector.

[AC_Mem]

17. Cristie

Will get a big fat job on fox news or radio, you can take that to the bank.

[RZM]

19. He'll need something if he wants to stay viable

Because I don't see a House or Senate run in his future.

[Sheepshank]

15. Far more likely to be Huntsman n/t

[stevenleser]

35. But the GOP base isnt the slightest bit interested in him.

Huntsman would be a threat if nominated. That's the problem. He cannot get there.

[pacalo]

16. Definitely Obama will get 4 more years. But there is no way

someone who relates to adversaries so bluntly & hatefully will ever get the votes needed for a presidency. Christie is at the top of his ladder of power as a governor. He'll never get higher-positioned on a national level due to his autonomous, partisan style of leadership.

[JI7]

23. maybe Christie will adopt the Sweater Vests to soften up his image

[pacalo]

29. I have a joke for that but I'd better keep it to myself.

[tridim]

32. Does it involve James Spader and "neck holes"?

[fishwax]

24. yes to the first, no to the second, yes to the third

Two out of three ain't bad

[Welibs]

25. No way! 4 more Obama, 8 Elizabeth Warren maybe even 4 Hillary in there so

Warren gets more experience in 8 years rather than 4.

Anyone that is alive, working, going to school, gets SS/Med, welfare, any kind of assistance, has health care etc, will never forget what Repubilcans have done these last 11 years. I think they're done. They have crossed the line too many times into seditious behaviour.

[LiberalAndProud]

26. Why?

We have had enough of the Republican poison in the White House already during my lifetime. To concede 4 years again is unacceptable. That's what I think of it.

[boxman15]

28. Obama will win in 2012.

2016 is up for grabs, though. It has to do with whether or not the Obama administration is able to sell the Democratic brand from here on out.

[MilesColtrane]

30. Let's see how Gabby Giffords is doing in 2016.

Unrealistic?

I would have thought her attending the one-year anniversary memorial service was unrealistic a year ago.

[WI_DEM]

33. Why do people think Christ Christie is going to be president?

he is nothing but a bully and big mouth. And yes, it is not politically correct, but his weight will turn off many voters, too. (I say this as someone with a weight problem).

[Greybnk48]

34. If Christie's a lucky man, he'll be in cardiac rehab before then,

rather than "gone." That guy's in very poor health, at least he's not healthy enough for the rigors of a Presidency.
