Election 2012

I would have seriously considered Huntsman over Obama.

Christie seems more popular among Democrats than Republicans right now. However, he was told by Republicans that his "endorsement" of Obama won't be forgotten. We will see.


Also, I find it funny that the best (most realistic) critiques of the Obama administration have come from Obama endorsements.

I have friends in Jersey who are not happy with Christie, but from what I've seen he's not sneaky. He seems to say what he means, and vice versa, so if he's going to fuck you he won't deny it.
The criticism from republicans has come from the people the party will hopefully shed in the near future.

Same here. He and Obama were the two centrists. Huntsman was probably closer to me philosophically, so my vote probably would have gone there. The more Romney I see, the worse it is for Romney.

Dear GOP moderate or die. Find honest folks who appreciate the nuances of economics in real world situations and shed the nutters. People used to talk about the Dems becoming a permanent minority party, so they changed. The numbers are not looking good for the GOP right now as a coalition of backward looking people who demographics say are done. You need a plan that doesn't include destabilizing the country.
