In their quest to achieve the emotional intelligence of a 13 year old girl, the conservative base are now begging Chris Christie to get in the race. He's mulling it over but honestly he should just say no. His chances will be better in 2016 when the race is wide open and (hopefully) the apocalyptic cult has been returned to the right wing blogshpere and short wave radio.
They are going to be sick of him in a week anyway. He's for civil unions, gun control and thinks that climate change is man made. That's three big strikes right there. He also supported the Islamic education center that was built a few blocks from the new WTC (B to the W, this is now up and running without a peep from anyone on the right...surprise, surprise). The other thing to consider is that he is very overweight. Many people will look at him and then look at Obama and say, "I'm not voting for the fat guy."
The simple fact is that if Jesus Christ was the GOP nominee, they'd hate him in a week as well. Bill Maher noted this last Friday night.
One has to wonder why these people should be put in charge when they can't seem to make up their mind about anything.

The election is more than a year off, and the first primaries and caucuses aren't for three months. Complaining that the Republicans can't make up their minds is rather disingenuous.
The greater point that Jesus would be booed off the stage when he spoke against the death penalty and the wealthy is valid. The right's noisy insistence that religion inform public debate and politician's actions in office becomes suddenly silent when it comes to helping one's fellow man.
The Catholic Church, despite all its flaws, is right when it condemns abortion, the death penalty, and Bush's war on Iraq. If only they would pull their heads out of the sand on birth control they could significantly reduce the number of abortions, which all agree is a laudable goal.

That is being kind. I could understand a Republican site being all up in arms about not being able to produce a better nominee (or a better process to getting a nominee) - but from a liberal/Dem site?
Be honest with yourselves for a moment - you couldn't possibly be happier about the dysfunction on display.

But I thought they all marched and voted in lockstep? Narrative fail.
They can't make up their minds in the sense that they all love a candidate for a week, realize he isn't pure, and then hate him. That's the collective mind set that I was getting at.
Riiight. Backpedal FAIL.
