"You'll be able to spit nails kid. Like the guy says, you're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder. You're gonna become a very dangerous person."

High expectations for Chris Christie tonight. Will he give the GOP what it needs...a boost...and perhaps a connection to the middle class/everyman... let's see...

Well, for one, the man likes to eat. So there's that. Lightning should not be an issue.

For two...he's blunt. Not uptight in the slightest. He speaks his mind and can connect with folk on a basic level.

For three..he's not afraid. Not that I think anyone else is, mind you, but i think CC is in a position to speak, and speak candidly on a whole range of issues. In particular those that the democratic party dance around but won't touch....third rail type stuff....like medicare....the crap economy...the fact that those that have found work have returned to lesser salaries....that kind of stuff..

Then there's the crap thunder. Given the digestive aplomb, this is a no brainer..but I digress. I predict a boon...er ah..booming staccato of ovations....

What do you think? Will he go all soft on us and scrunch up on stage with a box o donuts and weep? You wish. He'll do precisely what he does...speak bluntly and candidly on a whole host of issues and set the tone for the days that follow.

or not, in which case Phil hopes they're not powdered donuts...what with the dark suits and all...

Well.....

You've got a GOP Base who, despite all their protestations after 2008 of "No more RINOs like McCain"....are being forced to support an EVEN BIGGER "RINO" than Maveric was, in the person of Mitt Romneycare.

So there they are staring up at Kristie-Kreeme "tearing Obama a new one"..."laying out the case for conservatism"...."calling out the liberals for the anti-American socialists that they are".....basically Rush Limbaugh with a Jersey accent...

and then comes Thursday night, and the "RINO" speaks, lays out his carefully-measured words....hsi vague promises....his simplistic, banal, BORING pap....and they're told THAT, not the other guy from Tuesday, is the guy who will be their "next Reagan".

Just seems...they might be a bit disappointed????
 
I say. let's roll the dice...


so, you guys seemed determined professing that the gop can't connect... now, what, simplistic and pap are where you think it's at for the gop? wasn't simplistic pap what got us here to begin with... you know...hopey changey type stuff..

methinks it'll be something else ..

Phil, just five-six months ago?

Most REPUBLICANS didn't want Mitt Romney to be their Nominee.
 
then I guess it's gonna be a tough week.

how do you figure it will play out? the masses will chant for Christie? Ron paul will come tarzaning in on a vine?

come on..

I would agree with this.

and set the tone for the days that follow.

I disagree with this for three reasons:

1. I don't think that many people will watch the speech. Romney's speech is MUCH more important.

2. I don't think that the speech will have much life. Romney and Ryan need to sell any message that Christie might impart. I doubt that they will be able to keep any of those themes alive.

3. Christie's keynote speech will be compared to the keynote speech that Bill Clinton will deliver a week from now. Even if Christie eats fire and craps thunder and gets thunderous applause from a rightie audience, I think that Clinton's speech will blow the Christie speech out of the water and get deafening applause from a leftie audience. Clinton will set the terms of the debate. And Obama and Biden will effectively drive home those themes.

Just my opinion.

We'll see how he does. Personally, I think he is auditioning for 2016. That is to say, he doesn't expect Romney to win.
 
i see your 'deafening applause' and raise you a 'cacophany of sonic booms-applause'

I certainly hope Romney's speech is more important, he is the candidate after all..moreover that neither Clinton nor Christie set the terms of the debate.. mor eof a preamble.
 
How? Romney will be wildly cheered. But not because of himself, but because of what he represents to the Party Base.

To the ideologues, he represents the "HOPE" that he'll actually be "severely conservative" or "the Tea Party Congress or Paul Ryan will MAKE him be severely conservative"....and they'll get their radical "Take everything back to 1890" agenda. Mind you, Mitt doesn't do well (outside of rhetoric) on "radical"...does he?

to the partisans, he represents nothing more than a guy in the White House with an "R" behind his name. The Hannity Contingent, who cared nothing for deficits and debt when it was Dubya, and won't care again if Romney is elected.

and to the racists....the hope they can convince themselves that "Obama was a fluke....White people still run America and always will."

But Romney himself? As a person...as a "leader"? I doubt many of them really put him up there with guys like Christie, Rubio, RYAN, etc.
 
So in other words Phil, Christie is going to come on stage, fart and blow hot gas for roughly 30 minutes and we are supposed to be impressed? Hardly, but glad to see that it takes so little to whip the rightwingers into a frenzy.
 
He'll say what he thinks and keep himself slightly harnessed by the right. I rather like the guy.

He is from a location that makes one wonder if he is in his heart of hearts more democrat or Independent than he is republican.

Republicans probably won't notice that. They will find themselves cheering for things that are not a part of the normal mantra and leaning more centrist left. Watch for it.

Christie a hypocrite, Min. He railed against "massive Federal spending"....but took Stimulus money to prop up NJ's Medicare system.
 
you guys have succumbed to the delicate whispers of sweet nothings for nigh on four years now...suddenly, you're attuned to the gaseous prose of another.. hmm.

we're not in the least impressed with the vapid vapors of the current, so i'm none too worried with your impressions of the krispy kreme..
 
If Fatso craps thunder I am sure glad I am not in Florida right now.Whooie! Clear the whole convention center!
 
no. it's a quote from Rocky...you know Burgess Meredith n all... so what I meant is what it says.

Is this English class?
 
Phil, I'm sure Christie will receive a massive ovation....

and that creeping little thought of "Welllllll....IF Romney loses...we could have HIM in 2016!!!!" will pop into a few heads.
