The GOP lament: Was it Chris Christie's fault!?

Robert Costa wrote a NATIONAL REVIEW article today, linked above, about the election results. What caused Romney to lose?

The quote on NJ Gov Chris Christie that caught my attention:

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the adviser adds, is persona non grata in Romney’s inner circle. “He went out of his way to embrace the president during the final week of the campaign,” the adviser says. “It wasn’t necessary and it hurt us. Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Chris Christie undermined the Republican message.”

Maybe Christie’s embrace of Obama hurt Romney. Maybe Chris Christie crying after Bruce Springsteen called hurt Romney. But in the end it helped his citizens, and quite frankly, it helped Chris Christie.

Think about it.. Your state just went through a disaster of monumental proportions. Entire towns are gone. An entire coastline is changed. What else CAN YOU DO but ask the President of the federal purse for help? What else can you do but put politics aside..? You have no option.

And on the political flipside? It’s a win-win for Chris Christie. Obama in office for four more years, and after 8 years of a presidency it’s easier for a different party to win.. In 2016, I bet Chris Christie runs for the presidency.. Romney losing this year allows him to do that. Obama being out of office by then allows him to have a weaker field to run against. And he will win in 2016. I say it now. Put it on the record. 

ON this date, a date after 11/6/12, I say Chris Christie will win in 2016. Unless the Mayan calender ends in December and the world gets decimated by the mighty hand of the higher power. Otherwise Christie/Rand Paul (you read that right) wins in 2016 against …Clinton/Biden!

So sayseth the Coalspeaker. So sayseth the lord.

He certainly has legs big enough to fill the shoes.

So who will you be voting for?
Going Green?
Gary Johnson ..?
Or sticking with the D and the R choice? ObamaRomna 2012 set to begin.

The voting will be here before we know it

And then we can have our commercial TV back too ..

THE CHOICE

America is set to vote..

All the ads, all the money.. all now history. The real story begins and ends with each citizen, in the polling place, deciding who should run the school board, the county.. the congress.. the nation. All up to Mr. And Mrs. Citizen. Joe Sixpack. All of those corny phrases .. 

The election may be close, so the experts say. The pundits also tell us it could be disputed. Which means even more so that every vote counts. Remember in the year 2000? Votes counted then. Of course the real vote was the Supreme Court, their words certainly had more weight.. 

Nonetheless, in the year 2012, what is the choice?

Each campaign has framed the debate his (or her) own way.

But none of the frames matter. 

The negative ads? They are meaningless too.

The debates? They meant something, but don’t know.

No, now you count.

You mean something.

You are the person who gets to decide.

There is something special about a free and fair election. We in America assume we have those things still. Hopefully our assumption will not be disproven by widespread fraud.. keep the fraud at a minimum. And in Philadelphia. But during a free election, you can walk into a polling place in silence, head held high, cast your choice, and walk out proud. Will your vote be counted? Well, that is for another time and place. But knowing you can  do what you did without worry or trepidation or repudiation? Well, that feels alright …

So go make it count. Regardless of the candidate that you have bought into, no matter the talking points you have recited, just go and be silent in that polling place. Your vote speaks a million words.

AMERICA’S CHOICE, 2012. 

For better or worse. Here we go.

The GOP presidential debate.. Already

A strange amateur hour developing with the Fox News debate.. The only adult on the stage: Ron Paul..

LET THE WILD RIDE BEGIN: DONALD TRUMP ALMOST ANNOUNCES, BUT WILL WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE APPRENTICE..

Did last night’s mockery put him over the edge? Can he win a nomination? … will he allow wind to move his hair? 

All of these questions to be answered in time.

LET THE WILD RIDE BEGIN: DONALD TRUMP ALMOST ANNOUNCES, BUT WILL WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE APPRENTICE..

RON PAUL DECLARES: THE YOUTH WILL DESERT PRESIDENT OBAMA
