And - he needs to STOP worrying about this election and start worrying the state of NJ. He's large and in charge here - so how about him getting back to work? I'm not paying him his salary and subsidizing his health insurance for him to hang around on news network talk shows.

I didn't make a blanket statement about "overweight people" on DU.

Of course, this is the home of everything being taken out of context and shoved back up the posterior of the poster, so why should I be surprised?

Christie will be the attack dog if he is selected. I think that Biden could handle him well in a debate.

Personally, I don't take any favorite of guys like Bernie Marcus, Ken Langone, Stanley Druckenmiller and the Koch's seriously.
