Default Chris Christie shores up...the Left?

by ripping the extreme right..

Could be a good strategy. At least he's smart enough to know that he can't win an election without moderates and that the extreme right is incapable of winning a National election.

Those categories won't matter. It's "love ObamaCare" or "hate ObamaCare" for 2014.

Fortunately this is just the case for the fringe wackos on either side that cannot or will not use their mind to think, but only to decide what team they are on.

It would be a terrible shame for the Republicans to slough off Christie's rise in popularity as simply "anti-Obama" sentiment, instead of embracing his growing popularity amoung the thinking intellectuals who can actually be fiscally conservative without being kept up all night worrying about 2 dudes getting married to each other.

According to Christie, the current GOP political logic goes something like, "the better you do, the more voters you attract, the more diverse voters you attract, the worse you do?" The governor shook his head, clearly frustrated that the party hasn't worked harder to reach out to more voters. "Our country is changing, demographically and economically. Candidates have to understand who they're asking to lead," he said.

Campaigns that rely solely on appealing to a shrinking base of aging, white Republican voters "aren't working," he said, especially on the national stage


he's right. the republican party will only become more marginalized if they don't change how they do things. not what they say they want, it's what they do.

look at what republicans on a state and national level have done since the last election.
restricting rights such as reproductive rights, voter rights. the house's 43 votes on obamacare, while the farm bill failed (first time ever) and not one single jobs bill was proposed, let alone voted on.
the party that's supposedly 'less govt' and 'less regulation' has been spouting those mantras, but they don't follow them. and they wonder why people turn away.
