Wouldn't Christie entering race help Perry?

[WI_DEM]

After all aren't Christie and Romney supported by the same type of GOP voter? non-tea party Wall Street Republicans? Wouldn't Christie take more votes from Romney which would help Perry?

1. If Christie enters it is most likely over and he will be

Republican Candidate. His tough, "jersey attitude" will
appeal to Tea Party. All the Tea Party want is someone
who will "get in Obama's face". They loveed Trump--why?
Because he was willing to say all those "out there"
things about Obama.

The Tea Party does not appear to be concerned with any
of their positions if they are tough enough to sock it
to Obama.

What is ironic?? The Republican Elites see Christie as
the one with smarts to have broad appeal and therefore
when the General Election rolls around will be able to
finesse it well enough to attract Indies and some wayward
Dems.

The two groups want an entirely different candidate. The
Tea Party is in to learn a hard lesson. Wild out there
candidates cannot win a general election. Especially,
now that America is more and more familier with the
beliefs of the Republican Party, an "out there" candidate
dooms them. Yes, bachman, Conservatives have "to settle".
