There were a few chips in the pile, but this is probably one of those "camel's back"-breaking straws.
Because of this, or did you feel this way before?
Christie seems to have that every-man, tell it like it is appeal. I'd certainly label it as charisma, although many may find it off-putting. As for voters short memories, I don't think one could point to a better example than the drastic swings in polling data we've witnessed during and immediately after the recent federal shutdown. The doom and gloom predictions that were made during lasted all of a few weeks. An individual with Christie's clout should overcome this with ease, barring significant and new discoveries as to his direct involvement.
Perhaps Clinton would be a more relevant comparison. Regardless, unless Christie is shown to have had direct involvement in the affair, I predict this to be a non-issue in the long run.I'm not sure you can compare voters' attention span re the federal shutdown to a juicy, personal-character dramarama.
He claims he had nothing to do with the bridge closure, it was his aide that did it.
Yes, He's toast
No, he's still in the running
I Don't Know
/QUOTE]Was Christie ever really a real candidate? Most conservatives I know of see his as too liberal.[
If the right insists on making the perfect the enemy of the good they are likely to lose the next presidential election.
"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.

Who are the democrats running again? Oh yeah a murdering bitch that can't even take care of business at home with her husband.

Who does the GOP have that can beat her?
Other than maybe Christie.
I agree, he did a great job. I think when he talked about him joking about it several weeks ago did the trick.Christie was superb today: honest, forthright and accountable. I will support him for POTUS in 2016.eace

Rand Paul can probably beat her if they ran today. She is damaged goods
Democratic strategist, Bob Shrum said earlier, that he thought this controversy and the way Christie handled it will help him.Christie was superb today: honest, forthright and accountable. I will support him for POTUS in 2016.eace

The only way that Rand Paul will see the inside of the White House is as a guest.
The man has spoken against the 1964 Civil Rights Act,that will not be forgotten and it will cost him a lot of votes.

Keep thinking that, that is what the said when he ran the last time

I intend to keep thinking that.
If he ever gets elected president of the USA I'll admit that I was wrong, but right now I'm saying that isn't going to happen.

4 of the latest polls matching Paul against Clinton
CNN/Opinion Research Clinton 54 Paul 41 Clinton +13
Quinnipiac Clinton 48 Paul 41 Clinton +7
McClatchy/Marist Clinton 55 Paul 40 Clinton +15
Quinnipiac Clinton 49 Paul 40 Clinton +9
But with a little less than 3 years to go, these polls do not mean that much, just a snapshot of the day. But what is important is the favorable/unfavorable ratings. Here they are for most candidates:
Clinton 47% favorable 45% unfavorable
Christie 43% favorable 31% unfavorable
Paul 34% favorable 39% unfavorable
Cruz 26% favorable 40% unfavorable
Bush 31% favorable 41% unfavorable
Those in the minus area have a lot of work to do. Clinton is well known, flaws and all. Christie is better known than the rest, but we will have to see how this bridge incident hurts him. The rest need a lot of improvement to become a viable candidate. But they have the time.

.Yeah, we couldn't restore property rights by eliminating Title II and Title VII of the civil rights act. That would be bad. Gosh, we might just be on the path to protecting the rights of people. We can't have that
