      Do any of you really think Christie is a good candidate? At best he is the third worst candidate. He is an authoritarian, unlikable, and from New Jersey but a Dallas Cowboys fan. Yuck.

        Effective governor, able to work with both sides of the aisle. Good, but not great, for the reasons you give.

          Plus it was cool how he didn't know anything about the roads being shut down as a political play.

            The Florida Republican and likely White House contender is further separating himself from other 2016 hopefuls in the Senate.


            Ugh

                  The Carson entrance was hilarious.
                  "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    Christie going at Rubio was pretty entertaining -- Rubio was flustered.

                          Um, I don't think Rubio is winning NH. This is brutal:

                          In Saturday’s debate, Rubio “dispelled the notion” that Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. Rubio used to say that Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing.
                          "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                            That was shocking. When he started repeating that again, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Wow.

                              So how does this change the race? Who is the establishment favorite now?

                                They don't have anyone except Rubio, unless Kasich sneaks up and surprises everyone in NH. I think mainstream GOP primary voters would rather vote for Cruz or Trump over Jeb Bush, I'm not kidding. Christie and Bush ganging up on Rubio makes it more likely that Trump or Cruz gets the nomination. That's what they'll be remembered for after this all shakes out.
                                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
