New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie asserted that his "hug" of President Obama right before the 2012 election in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy did not hurt Mitt Romney's chance to win the presidency.
Christie reminded Kelly that Romney himself refuted the notion that it had any effect in the race.
"I have seen him publicly say over and over again that it had absolutely no effect or role on the race, either subjectively for the way he felt or objectively in terms of what their polls looked like at the time. So the answer is no," Christie said.
Christie said that he would praise the president again, if he had to do it again.Read the rest of the Story HERE and watch a related video below:
Well Chris, if you truly believe that, then it should work both ways. Your OBAMAHUG shouldn't affect your chances of getting the 2016 nomination.
hahahaha .. we'll see .. Don't hold your breath on that one.

Christie is yet again taking advantage of Mitt Romney's graciousness, pathetic and repugnant man that he is. Glad the cover is blown.

Ha, that first comment didn't make sense. To be clearer, CHRISTIE IS THE REPUGNANT AND PATHETIC MAN using Romney's graciousness to further his own aims, as he has done many times.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, the fact that Christie threatened to use the F word at the convention, if his self-focused video was not shown. Romney and co should have said you know what right back to him, but didn't.

Poor Willard. Too dumb. Well played, Christie.
ReplyDeleteLike Obama, Christie has a huge ego developed from being able to fool people so easily. Unfortunately, these are the type most people vote for and get elected to office, since both Obama and Christie are able to tickle and excite voters' egos with their larger than life "relatable" personas. These may be the types to get elected, but they are not the type to make a positive difference once in office.
ReplyDeleteRomney, during the election, was not trying to excite so much, as he trying to tell the sober truth about the current state of the nation and not fool and intoxicate, like O and Christie. Most people, I learned want to be fooled and have their egos tickled and excited( O and Christie) rather than hear the somber truth (Romney).
For a while now, voters have confused a candidate who is exciting with somebody who is good. Perhaps it happened with Reagan; however Reagan was an exception. He was a great communication who also happened to be a good guy, which really is not so common. If you think about it, great communication a lot of times is honed by being able to fool people like in sales, for example. But Reagan was not out to fool, while O and Christie are.
Well said.

Christie's hug didn't hurt Romney. The blow from the hurricane had already taken effect. Obama could have been hugged by a Democrat governor and the result would have been the same.
ReplyDeleteRomney had momentum, then sen. candidate Mourdoch struck with his idiotic women comments, and then the hurricane. Romney lost 5% overnight and that was it. I know Cruz Country and others want to pretend it was the 3rd debate but that's just nonsense.
cimbri, the cruzies want to blame Romney, when they themselves would not get off their asses to vote for Romney because he was (and still is) a devout mormon.
