He lost his chance. Romney will win and thus Ryan will be next in line in 2020. Maybe he can run for Senate?

have you noticed that over the past 50 years politicians have gone from less attractive to as attractive to more attractive then the populace.

every 50 year old man wanted to bang sarah palin and women swooned over obama.

nobody is swooning over christie.
Lol you have a point unfortunately.

The first sentence doesnt make sense, but the story is otherwise pretty interesting.

Overall, I kind of like Christie...always have to be honest. A lot of people are put off by his direct, sometimes blunt personality...but I think its refreshing. Sadly, he is probably too moderate to ever have a shot at getting a nomination for the GOP.
I highly doubt it.

Assuming President Obama wins reelection, I expect the GOP to lurch right in its quest for its next nominee after failing with two consecutive candidates who seemingly have had no firm conservative grounding except when politically expedient.

And, yeah, he's too fat. I have no problem with his weight and it certainly shouldn't be an issue. But it would be. Height shouldn't be an issue either, but you'll never see a 5'5" male President again (sorry, James Madison) or a profoundly ugly one. Appearances matter to the superficial masses. There are reasons, after all, that Mike Huckabee lost over 100 lbs before running for President, and I don't doubt that Presidential aspirations were among them.

Why not take the bet??? Maybe because you really don't believe that and are trying to convince yourself

At his weight, he'll be lucky to still be alive in 4 years.

Obesity kills.

It's just like the whole thing with the backup quarterback being the most popular guy on the team. As soon as he is thrown into the game the bloodthirsty critics tear him apart. Christie would be no different. However...I bet Christie would have cussed out someone by now which would have at least been fun to watch....lol
That's true for the "true blue" folks - but the "true blue" folks aren't the ones who decide the elections - the independents and "blue or red leaning" folks who do that.
Christie is fairly well-liked by Democratic voters - after all he's been elected governor in a Blue state. The real test will be whether or not he's still liked there at the end of his term. My guess is "yes".
