Chris Christie can't win

Chris Christie can't win the Presidential Election in 2012 because he can't win the Nomination.

  • He is a short term governor of a small state
  • He got only 6% in the CPAC straw poll.  Sure, you can say that doesn't mean anything because Ron Paul won the poll and we know Ron Paul can't win the nomination either, but Chris Christie didn't get higher than 6% in a poll of very conservative, active, involved, knowledgeable voters.
  • Chris Christie porn is great for us conservatives who understand that we need to cut government unions and benefits but not for the average voter
  • Americans love teachers and especially their teachers.  Put together a B-roll of him insulting a sweet gray haired teacher and the electorate will turn on him.
  • He has done a lot of legislation but the results of his legislation are not clear yet. He has to be able to say, "Hey, we did this AND IT WORKED OR DIDN'T HURT US."  Right now he can't say that.
  • He is from the East.  That didn't work all that well for Rudy Giuliani did it.
  • He has an east coast attitude.  It's not bad, but sometimes that brash confidence does not play will with heartland voters.
  • I couldn't find any polling on national name recognition for Chris Christie.  He has to win the primary and caucuses in states where people have never heard of him.
So, stop listening to the voices in your head and Ann Coulter (same thing).
