Of all the reasons Chris Christie should not be president...
his weight is by far the least significant, assuming you believe it's relevant at all.

2. Every one is not into attacking people for personal appearance.
I can hear average Americans--There go the Liberal Elites
again worried about appearance over substance.

I do not consider any of you Liberal Elites, but
this is the sort of thing that has annoyed people
over the years.

First, Christie is not running. Some RW Elites are
having fantasies. I think Christie is smart and
will not put himself into this election.

Just a wild guess, but they will rehabilitate Perry
and get him going against Romney.

At some point the Tea Party Whackos are going to have
to learn a painful Political Lesson. Christie may
just not be as Conservative as they have imagined.

Lesson 2: They cannot find a "Pure" Conservative.
Perry was correct in his position on Immigration.
Every candidate will have aome point at which they
may be at odds with the Tea Party. They are going
to have to learn to suck it up every once in a while.

In the end, Perry is my best guess, their candidate.

3. I want a president who will not die of a massive heart attack within 5 years...
He will - his girth is morbid - it's a miracle he hasn't had a massive heart attack yet...

4. Oh come on.
Fat jokes are so easy, and get such great mileage. After all, any schoolyard bully can do it.

9. Bingo
Make jokes about the color of someone's skin, you're a bigot, make them about the amount of a person's skin, and you're hip.

7. No, he's a right wing NUT
Maybe not as crazy as some of them, but still a right wing nut, who only cares about the RICH. Case closed.
