In response to "Will be interesting to see which one of them is established as the more moderate option" by Strongbad

I think Christie has too many enemies and too many skeletons.

The only way I see JB failing to get the nod is if the Tea Party revolts effectively against the idea of another Bush. I think there's a 100% chance that some of them do. I think there's only a 25% chance that they do it effectively enough to sabotage him.

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

- 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
