Ultimate Christie conspiracy

Breitbart.com has one whopper of a theory as to why the New Jersey governor has praised Obama so effusively

Mitt Romney is now running away with this election, freeing Christie to praise the president without fear that doing so will tip the scales.

Oh. I see! But … aren’t all the national polls essentially tied? Yes, but you forgot about skewing.

Romney’s lead in the national polls may appear small, but it is likely much more significant, since the electorate that shows up on Tuesday will include proportionally fewer Democrats than most polls have assumed thus far.


Democrats and journalists have clung desperately to one illusion after another–first, that Obama was winning in Ohio, until that was no longer true; next, that Obama had an edge in early voting, until that was wrong; and finally, that Obama had a stronger ground game, until that began to fall apart.

In conclusion, Chris Christie was really nice to Barack Obama because all conservatives secretly know that when you unskew the polls Mitt Romney is winning in all swing states, the end.

9. Me, too. Let this feed their delusions. It'll make next Tuesday that much sweeter.

[PlanetBev]

13. Just what I was going to say

These people are so delusional that they will be completely unprepared for the cratering they will experience on Tuesday. They'll be like Wile E. Coyote stepping off the edge of the Grand Canyon, then ending up having the ol' Acme safe dropped on them.

5. Is Breitbart still dead?

I was hoping so.

[BlueStreak]

18. He hasn't gotten any smarter since he died, that's for sure.

So how are they getting these communiques from Andrew?

[jsmirman]

6. I thought they meant in the other direction when I read the headline

and I was all ready with my "Penguin Mates With Hippopotamus!" snark to celebrate them finally printing something true.

[Enrique]

16. me too

I was going to say that's not a conspiracy it's reasonable speculation. I would add Bloomberg is thinking the same way with his endorsement.

But to suggest Mitt is the one out in front,

[DCBob]

7. LOL!

8. Romney truly is Joe Isuzu

What kind of corrupt fantasy land do these people live in?

[hifiguy]

10. And they think huffing paint doesn't cause brain damage.

LightFart.com is exhibit A that they are wrong.

[HockeyMom]

11. Christie needs and wants the Fed money

for his state? Maybe he does care about being their Governor and wants to help and not tarnish his legacy in the state? Illogical?
