LOL! Was it you who recently compared Huntsman to Poindexter? Or maybe it was someone else. And now Eddie Haskell? Honestly, I don't see what would make you see these people in him. I don't know enough about your politics to know how you would feel about Huntsman's position on the issues, but I wish you'd give him a chance personality-wise. He's really an incredibly social, decent guy. You just haven't seen enough of him to judge his personality the way you are. Utahns loved him as Governor (both Democrats and Republicans). He made so many decisions that improved the state of Utah.
Yes, it was me and you might be right. I probably need to see him in different settings and under better circumstances. I am being too judgmental based on what I have seen.
I agree. I think he comes across as a mean-spirited bully, but I also understand that in the northeast, abrasiveness is considered normal.
I would say it's rather normal in that part of the country, but I am not sure how that plays in other areas. I can just about say not so good in the south, however, I hear a lot of southern folks say they like him.
If Christie was elected I could see him talk openly about his weight as thought it does not bother him. I think he would try and lose the weight and this could set a great example to millions of Americans as his weight would be constantly talked about so he'd bring it up a lot.
This could be one of the reasons why Christie said he did not want to run for president...He kows he would have to lose the weight and be the person everyone follows as a true leader that guides millions to weight loss. It would be something new that America has never seen before and help many overweight Americans.
The 'Elitest' Repubs are just real EMBARRASSED with their current field of candidates...and who can blame them, with a bubbling, tons of bad baggage, Rick Perry already rendering himself...TOAST.
Ron Paul, Libertarian hero of a few 'internet chat rooms.'
Now, Herman Cain, 'turning off' many he had recently charmed, by attacking Perry...by seemingly ''playing the race card.''
Mitt Romney, who 'they' never have cared for, and perhaps for good reasons.
Yeah, the Republican 'Powerbrokers', Bill Kristol, and Company, are just not 'Happy campers NOW!'
Here's a story from yesterday about who Chris Christie would hurt the most and don't we all know it, too:
"Romney has little room for error. Romney's strategy depends on winning early primaries in more moderate New Hampshire and Nevada to answer probable Perry wins in Iowa and South Carolina. Romney then needs to win in Florida before settling in for a long haul in a nomination process the Steele-era Republican National Committee decided to make as long as possible. If Christie were to run, many moderate GOPers who have increasingly come to accept Romney as their standard bearer would jump ship. While Christie might not be able to upset Romney in New Hampshire, where Romney keeps a summer home, or in heavily Mormon Nevada, the New Jerseyian would cut into Romney's support in Florida and in the all-important stealth primary for establishment support. Since Christie is mostly known for his tough talk and not his moderate politics, he's been a net negative to Perry as a quasi candidate. But if Christie were to decide to run, it would be only bad news for Romney. Christie could actually deliver what Huntsman threatened: a centrist rivalry."

Until he is scrutinized. As previously pointed out in other posts, Christie leans too far left on many issues. It is just desperation on the part of the right wing to have someone new to get excited about. Clearly, they do not want Romney.

Yeah, and here is Perry being pretty agressive about the harm Christie would do to Romney. This appears to 'in fighting'...or isn't it..'Cat-fighting?'
James Richard "Rick" Perry (born March 4, 1950) is the 47th and current Governor of Texas.
Christie Candidacy Would Cripple Romney Christie could actually deliver what Jon Huntsman threatened: a centrist rivalry. Romney’s greatest strength so far has been his implacable support in the center. He has not increased his share of the electorate, but has emerged as the frontrunner by holding fast to a quarter of the GOP. If Christie were to divide that base, it would mean big trouble.
If Christie is Serious, Then Romney's Got Big Trouble; Obama Campaign Outlines Attack StrategyRomney Needs Christie on the Sidelines"He has been on a lot of sides of the same issue. So, Mitt needs to get a position and stick with it. He is flipping more than that great movie star Flipper.''-- Texas Gov. Rick Perry talking to FOX News colleague Carl Cameron.After weeks of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney hoping that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would keep the intrigue alive before re-finalizing his decision not to run for president, it's Texas Gov. Rick Perry's turn to do the hoping.For Perry it's a wish that Christie re-opens the door to a White House run and gives moderate Massachuser Romney a taste of what the Texan has had to contend with for his two months in the race: a divided base. Christie is said to be preparing a mid-week announcement and Romney needs a definite "no."The only threat to Romney's core support so far has been the candidacy of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman...

At least...you now admit...you've been too judgmental based on what you have seen!
