Should we be keeping an eye on Chris Christie? Will he attempt to steel the Republican Nom?

I know I've asked in the past and others have played with this idea. But I am really nervous that we are thinking okay with the idiots running for President Obama has a lock on this next election I honestly think we are going to see someone like Christie come in and make a serious attempt.

I say this after seeing YET another Christie headline about him rebuting a candidate.

I don't think Christie could handle that and I think he knows it, which is why he didn't run.

Then he flew the flags at half mast for Whitney Houston's funeral.

If the racists and homophobes abandon him then what's left of the GOP to support him?

Republican states that are rewriting laws that pertain to women are all over the media. There are too many of them. If we do not band together and fight them they will win this election. The women in this country may have to do an "Occupy" move all over the country. Christi would have us in burqua land. Santorum would have us wearing chastity belts until he wanted to rape us with a surgical instrument. I'm too old for that sort of thing, but he would probably starve old women like me.
