seanomelbourne nailed that one: "crawl back . . . and leave the world to those who care." Yeah, it's encouraging to know that some/most at IC do care.

2B!! maybe you should crawl back into your tralier with a bottle of moonshine and leave the world to those who care.Turn on your radio(you probably cannot afford a TV) and listen to The doyen of bullsh--t Rush Limbo.

(not like another gov who left their state & it's totally screwed up now! & no i am not talkin' about Palin)but i do think he should run in the future. i like his way of thinking (so far).

Spoken like a true entitlement addict. Pigs at the slop trough become 'wild boars' if the farmer tries to pull them back from bursting their gut and/or breaking the farmer's bank account with their unrestrained gluttony.

I firmly beleive that 666-tie should run! That would give this former NJ-ite a second chance to check "NO" next to his name. Of course, having him in DC rather than Trenton, would give the Garden State a bit of good luck. Getting him out of the Third State would give those High Point to Cape May folks a real 4 Leaf Clover!!!! Also, the Supreme Court may force him to be unable to get his own way non-stop if he winds up in the White House.

Hey seanO'Malborn - why don't you go stifle yourself. Find another humpable kangaroo in your own land willing to listen to your meddling ways as you whisper sweet nothings in his ear while inserting your unwanted opinion in 'his business.' Take care of Irish and Aussie matters down under, and lay off those of the US which do not concern you and no one appreciates.

Christie should take the next four years to drop about 100 pounds so he doesn't look so ridiculous "running" for President. He is terrible example to our youth!

Hi 2BorNot2b - He's egotistical because he's egotistical. Just watch him bantering with the press about why he should not be flying state helicopters to see little league games (he caved later), or with a constituent about why he is gutting public education while sending his own kids to private schools. Dirty little secret - I dislike him less than I do the other Repub candidates. As for Lincoln, he based his career on being extraordinarily honest. Same does not apply for a man who spent months saying "No, not every absolutely not, not now, not for me," and now says, "well, maybe."

How exactly is repeating a word several times in one sentence, even if it happens to be the word Reagan qualify anyone as ego-driven? Are democRATS now also dictating the rules so as to brand someone an ego-maniac on the basis of admiration to someone considered a hero? -- There's a good reason why Lincoln did not start the RAT party, he might have known in advance 'quality' among them would be non-existent. Wise man Lincoln was!

The only thing bigger than this man's waistline is his ego which, if it were a landmass would qualify for the status of continent. I almost lost my dinner when I saw him eating up the attention the other night when he went for the Guinness World Record of saying "Reagan" in one paragraph. Lincoln would be turning over in his grave at the quality of people leading the party he started.
