"..BREAKING: My sources say NJ Gov. Chris Christie is conducting focus groups in preparation for a possible run for president in 2012..."
Alter adds: http://twitter.com/#!/jonathanalter/status/103867226318...
"...Christie would likely have the support of Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes and many in the business wing of the party...."
In other words, the GOP establishment is flipping out about the collapse of Mitt Romney and the rise of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry. They're afraid that the tea party monster they helped create will devour them in 2012.
And so they are turning their hopes to a guy who couldn't even beat President Obama in his own state.

Christie out polls obama you moron.

Obama underwater in New Jersey (NY State Low Approval Rating Not an Outlier)
Hotair ^ | 08/17/2011 | Ed Morrissey
That poll showing Barack Obama underwater in New York may not have been an outlier after all. Quinnipiac finds Obama’s approval plunging neighboring — and nearly-as-blue — New Jersey. While Chris Christie’s numbers have rebounded a little, Obama’s have slid to a new low:
President Barack Obama is headed in the wrong direction as New Jersey voters disapprove 52 – 44 percent of the job he is doing, down from a 50 – 46 percent positive score June 21 and the president’s lowest score ever in the Garden State.
Again, the gender gap is huge as men disapprove 60 – 37 percent while women approve 51 – 44 percent. Turning thumbs down on Obama are Republicans 93 – 6 percent and independent voters 57 – 39 percent. Democrats approve 77 – 17 percent. …
New Jersey voters say 49 – 45 percent that Obama does not deserve to be reelected, but say 45 – 37 percent that they would vote for Obama over an unnamed Republican challenger in the 2012 presidential race.
The independent vote is a big issue, although perhaps not in New Jersey as much as elsewhere. Democrats enjoy a large advantage in registration in the Garden State. In 2008, exit polls showed Democrats comprising 44% of the vote, compared to 28% for Republicans and independents alike. Obama cruised to a 57/42 win in New Jersey while only getting a 51-47 split among independents — and a 14/85 among Republicans.
A big turnout of Democrats would still lift Obama to a win in New Jersey, but these numbers suggest that might be a little more difficult this time around. Obama won Democrats 89/11 in 2008 when Hope and Change still filled the air. He’s now down to a 77/17 in a deep-blue state — not bad, but indicative of a loss of enthusiasm. That indicates a loss of turnout, and a big reversal among independents could make the race close in New Jersey. That will have Democrats spending money in what is almost always a safe state on defense, which will prevent them from spending it in battleground states.
New Jersey would still be a long shot for Republicans in November 2012, but the sudden underwater status of his approval in two solidly blue states means that Obama will have to work harder than anyone thought necessary just to maintain traditional Democratic ground.
Update: This Survey USA poll in Portland, Oregon doesn’t bode well for Obama, either. In a deep-blue West Coast city like Portland, Obama’s favorability rating is … 41/45. Among independents, it’s 34/49, and it’s only 67/18 among Democrats. Obama manages to be underwater among both men and women, too.

I've not really looked, but Christie seems good. Any dirt on him?

Yeah - he takes the commie union trash to the woodshed.

Cuts spending in a major way.
Where does he stand on tax breaks for the rich? There's the dealbreaker.

He will have to explain to his base why he appointed a Muslim judge.

maybe he didn't enploy racial bias, instead opting for choosing the best candidate for the job.
Won't sit well with tea party voters, following the constitution so closely...

That will be good for a few points lost in the polls.
This will be interesting to see, the dilution of the Republican Vote due to so many candidates. I do think it may be most beneficial to Ron Poop as his base of Paultards won`t waver, but the rest all have wavering bases.

Alter already retracted this.
Got to love today's "news" - lie about anything you want and pass it off as fact.

He's not a big supporter of the 2nd Amendment... That won't fly in the South.

I don't think a lot of voters want a 300-pound undisciplined gross looking dude being their president. The job is for the face of the USA to the world. And THIS is what Christie looks like while relaxing as governor. imagine him with 14 months on the campaign trail under his belt... then 4 years of very stressful presidentin'...
not a pretty sight. And americans want a pretty sight.

he might get the California vote,he was once an actor

Oh freaking plase 240.
Christie would make obama cry and run for his binky.
Again - let's go by the issues you claim to care so much about between christie and president Zero.

um, do american voters go 'by the issues'?
if so, the toady liebermann would have gotten the nod over palin.
A lot of them go by appearances. People who do'nt follow "The issues" will see GQ vs. sweaty fat dude.

Then why isn't he president already?
-
plus, have you ever met a 300 pound slob that didn't let that level of gluttony and sloth permeate into other areas of his life?
plus, what kind of stress is "being president" upon the heart - given that poor heart has to pump blood to 310 pounds all day.

Does his lack of discipline sicken you?

i like christie and would vote for him in a heartbeat over every GOP except Rpaul and bachmann, and certainly over obama in the general
HOWEVER
in my analysis of GOP candidates, seeing him look like 350 pounds of shit in 150 pounds of pants, I don't think swing voters would choose him. I just dont.
maybe you believe 2% of voters won't skip him because he sweats a lot and looks like a before/after picture standing next to obama... but I do. it's not about 180's preference, it's about what 2% of the population would do.

I thought the title was "Chris Christie EATING Focus Groups..." for a second.

A new Quinnipiac poll in New Jersey finds Gov. Chris Christie with an upside down approval rating, 44% to 47%.
Key findings: Women disapprove of the job Christie is doing 54% to 36%, while men approve 53% to 39%, a 17-point gender gap.
Said pollster Maurice Carroll: "Christie is having a big problem with women, perhaps because they care more about schools and disapprove 60% to 34% of the way he's handling education."
