When Chris Christie goes to vote, do you think he'll REALLY vote for Romney--Or Obama?

[ashtonelijah]

You know, honestly, I think Chris Christie has been really and truly impressed with how Obama has handled this. His response to the idea of letting Mitt Romney come have a tour photo op with him made me really think he sees the Romney campaign for the political opportunistic charlatans they are. I think he genuinely appreciates President Obama's leadership, President Obama's help, and I really can't imagine him voting for Romney.

Of course, I don't expect him to come out and explicitly endorse President Obama, especially if he has future political ambitions.

But I really, really at this point don't think that, when he's alone in the ballot box, he's going to pull the lever for Romney.

What do you think?

1. Good question......I don't know.

And I'll bet Christie doesn't know yet, either!



It wouldn't surprise me if he votes for Obama...

He came as close as you can without actually saying it. He wants obama to win so he can run in 2016. If Romney wins he cant run until 2020 or later because Ryan would likely run.

3. I don't think it will matter in NJ.

4. I was thinking about ...

the politician's vote.

I've concluded that most gop politicians (not in, or projected to hold) offices will, in the quiet of the polling booth, be voting for President Obama.

5. If he has the time, Obama.

I guess he'll have to find the time, given his position. Hope they don't ask him; could come out with one of his zingers, like when he was questioned about not sending his kids to public school.

6. I think he will vote for Obama.

And if Republicans attack him too much for his remarks in praising Obama and if they keep acting like whackadoodles he just might quit the party. I don't know if he will let them know he quit, he might just start pushing a different agenda without giving them notice. Or he might go Libertarian or whatever it is Republicans do when they hate other Republicans, but don't want to be Democrats.

7. It depends on whether he's planning to run for president in 2016

If so, he'll vote for Obama. If not, he'll probably vote for Romney.

8. Good grief people.

He's a Republican, he supported a Republican, he was the keynote speaker at the Republican convention, and he will vote for the Republican candidate.

Just because he's been on good behavior for two days doesn't mean he's going to endorse Obama or change parties. He's still the same guy he always has been.

Get some perspective.

9. This.

Couldn't have said it any better.

10. Please.

Christie Christie only cares about himself. Period. As we may try to imagine animals' emotions based on their facial expressions, or anthromorphize (if that's spelled correctly, which i doubt), most politicians, especially repiggies, hide their true selves behind façades of human emotion.

Christie Christie would eat Obama if the cameras turned away for a second.

11. Of course he'll vote for Romney...

...knowing it won't make a bit of difference in New Jersey, and protecting his right flank if he decides to run in 2016.
