I heard a crack team of republican scientists is work diligently on figuring out how to clone Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was VASTLY overrated, a joke to anyone with intelligence.

But Christy is a whale. I can't imagine him being electable just due to his appearance, IMO.

This is a sad but true comment on the electorate.

As far as a "fresh" candidate, it is possible for Romney, Newt and Paul to split the delegates and deadlock the convention. They would all be so "beat up" by the process that the convention could draft someone else: Condy Rice, Paul Ryan, Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush?

Skippy

PS Maybe Christie should try Nutri-System!
