Gov. Christie has been very well spoken of by the Conservatives and Republicans in the past. I haven't heard what Christie said about Obama. Did he actually endorse Obama? Or just offer a few words of praise?
Unfortunately, good politicians like Huntsman are easily overlooked in the primaries, because they don't stand out enough from the rest of the field. Also, they don't have the organization they need in all the primary states, to help promote their candidate, and make a solid showing.
The Republicans need a "big tent", but they need to re-think their platform, and either get the nutters to toe the platform, or walk the plank out of the party. Way too many of them, hanging around, and giving conservatives, a bad rep.
