Which makes sense, considering where they are on the spectrum. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:46 16
- I also think they're the smartest candidates in general. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:48 15
  - Will be interesting to see which one of them is established as the more moderate option - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:49 14
    - Christie won't sniff the final slate of candidates. His unfavorables amongst GOP voters are over 50%. -- nm - ML Jun 26, 10:58
    - I think Christie has too many enemies and too many skeletons. - David Jun 26, 10:51 12
      - Christie's damaged goods. I think Jeb's moderate opposition will come from one of the lesser-known hopefuls. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 10:56 1
        
        I've seen the numbers and studied the 538 piece. Christie's advantage is that he's smart and tough. - David Jun 26, 11:02
      - If I were put a wager on it - Strongbad Jun 26, 10:54 9
        
        FWIW, Christie is the most tolerable Republican candidate to me. - David Jun 26, 10:56 8
        
        I think Kasich is my preferred option...he's shown a working ability in Ohio and he's - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:03
        
        Your IM means he's the wrong person to put against Hillary. The Republicans need to differentiate, not nominate Kodos. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 11:02 6
        
        I disagree. I think people are inclined not to like Hilary. The best shot the Republicans have is a candidate similar to her rather than a zealot. -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:04 4
        
        I agree that people are inclined not to like Hillary or the grubbier bits of the Clinton brand - but the solution for Republicans is not to have - Roger More Jun 26, 11:08 3
        
        What I think they need is a tolerable candidate who can seem like a viable choice if Hilary implodes. -- (edited) - David Jun 26, 11:16 2
        
        I think we agree on that, but I don't think Christie is that candidate. He's a time bomb. - Roger More Jun 26, 11:22 1
        
        I agree that Bush is better. Christie's the fallback if the Bush name is too big a hurdle. - David Jun 26, 11:26
        
        Eff you Roger! I don't care what you say! I'll twirl towards freedom if I want to!!! -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 11:04
