Yes too many very short sighted. BUT I don't think the GOTP will nominate him... too moderate and not wacko (Cruz -Paul) enough ! Plus he embraced BO after Sandy ! (Big TP Sin) I really believe the GOTP will nominate someone much more radical than McCain or Romney next time. They lost twice with "old school moderates" (in their eyes only). IF the House goes back Dem in 2014, they'll really be incensed !!

It was very memorable... as the entire hospital staff consisted solely of the over-nite skeleton crew who'd been trapped in the Hospital with us .. for TWO DAYS! (NO FOOD OR LINEN DELIVERIES, NO Fresh Produce and NO HOT MEALS) ((having a banana At Every Meal was essential to my diet as a Rx because I required a steady diet of potassium, but couldn't tolerate it orally or by injection)) ooooooooo... ickie... ... hundreds of very sick peeps wallowing in dirty sheets and hospital gowns... being served Cold Cereal (sans Bananas =p ) and Tuna Fish Sandwiches.
Why do I bring this up?
Well, we had NOTHING (not even therapy) to do for 2 days but to Stare At the TV watching images of MAYOR BOOKER Literally Shoveling Snow for his elderly neighbors... ...while NJ Governor Chris Cristie (and family) were living-it-up @ Disney World, FLORIDA... ...uncomfortably reminiscent of the images of GDUBYA during "Katrina"
...anyway... it was a Herculean feat to clear that much snow from a densely populated inner-city like Newark... but once the Emergency Vehicles got dug out everything eventually came back on line (much to the "RELIEF" of of the over-worked hospital staff...)
...but like I said... Not Something I'll Soon Forget.
Ah....Yes.... "The HUG SEEN 'ROUND The WORLD"
Christie has had his "Eyes On the Prize" all along!
After that snow storm (see spoiler) he knew it was slipping from his grasp since he was painfully aware of what it did to Bush's Approval Rating...
As much as it pains me to be so cynical......
"Super-Storm Sandy" was a Lucky Break for Christie (or as we say in 'Jersey... "He Stepped In Shyte!") It gave him the (Photo-)OPportunity to vindicate himself by Pulling Another Chris Christie OVER-THE-TOP SHOW ((We're used to his Showmanship here :rolleyes:))
Obama showing up (right on cue) was a BONUS... ...that he was savvy enough to recognize how the MEDIA Hyped It...and just Quik Enough to see what APPEARING To Be Seen As BI-PARTISAN could Potentially DO FOR HIS RUN IN 2016 <---------->
Likewise... I reckon the GOP recognize how the TP has been pulling them down, and their time is up. The only function they have left to serve is to BE SO GD EXTREME That Most Right-Wingers, Some of the "Undecided"(fence-sitters), and enough of the Same Haters that Hated a Black PotUS will also vote against ANY WOMAN, will Jump Straight Into the ARMS of The NEW MODERATE 2X Governor Chris Christie.
