Sunday, September 22, 2013 - A-List on Americanism by Rich Valdes
NEW JERSEY, September 22, 2013 — Two recent polls found that
Governor Chris Christie has the best chance of winning re-election in his
home state and is also the top GOP contender for the White House
versus Hilary Clinton in 2016, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll
released in Virginia on September 19, 2013 and a Public Policy Polling
survey conducted in New Hampshire.
While both polls show Christie as the best-positioned Republican to rival
former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton in a run
for President, Christie must first win re-election in his home state this
November. His challenger, State Senator Barbara Buono, has been
gaining in polls reducing a 40-point lead in July to a 30-point lead in
August, and to a 24-point lead as of now in September.
While Senator Buono continues her best efforts to win the governorship,
her campaign continues to lack the funding and support of the Democrat
National Committee inWashington, DC.
Christie is still ahead in all polls despite the tightening in the polls, and
Buono’s recent attack on Christie, holding him responsible for increased

levels of poverty amongst New Jerseyans during his tenure as Governor.
What is interesting to note is that the basis of these allegations comes
from a report produced by New Jersey Legal Services and uses a
standard of 250 per cent of the federal poverty level for as a baseline their
report, instead of 100 percent.
This means that 250 percent of poverty is a family of four making $58,875
in annual income as opposed to using 100 per cent of the federal poverty
level which equals $23,550 of annual income for that same family of four.
Clearly using 250 per cent of poverty inflates the sample of individuals
considered as living in poverty, according to this report.
Even with the poverty charges, vetoing gun control laws, disagreeing with
rank and file Democrats in the State’s legislature, and bucking
conservatives by outlawing conversion therapy for homosexuals, Christie
still leads among likely voters to win re-election in New Jersey this
November.
While Christie might be the Republican darling of NJ politics, right now,
his fellow Republican, Steve Lonegan, is not, according to several polls.
Critics have cited Lonegan’s messaging strategy as part of the reason
voters have not embraced him in the same way voters have embraced
Republican Christie. Politically, both men have similar positions on issues
like school choice vouchers, preference of a smaller more limited
government, and both men are pro-life.
Lonegan and Christie part company when it comes to delivering their
messages in a manner that is amenable to New Jersey voters. Christie’s
humorous, direct, and common-sense approach is winsome even to many
of his biggest detractors. While Lonegan is also direct, his unrelenting
attacks that are sometimes personal attacks, on his political rivals are
seen as too unreasonable to for him elect-able in a state like NJ, where democrats outnumber
Republicans by four-to-one.

I see someone, whether libtards or the establishment on our side, are still trying to lay
down "inevitability" markers. This is how it happens. You just keep releasing polls with
the guy in first place, and pretty soon everyone is here saying "yeah, well, his views on
guns sort of evolved and, besides, electability; oh, and just because, shut up."

Just what we need another "squishy" republican presidental hopeful. We need a true
Constitutional Consertive Candidate not these moderates that the GOP hopes will
sway democrat voters. Totalitarian voters ( I refuse to call them liberals ) have blinders
on and will ALWAYS do what they are told, and that will be to vote for the Socialist
Party candidate who thinly clings to the outmoded name of " The Democrat Party
Presidental Candidate".

Under Chris Chrisitie property taxes have increased by 19% - greater than under
Corzine. He implemented Corzine's toll increase plan and diverted the money. He has
increased the state debt by 25%. Christie's current budget in bigger than Corzine's
last budget. Unemployment is sky high and the economy sucks. Throughout his
career, Chrisite has flip-flopped on gun control and abortion. Christie has also said
that it is not a crime to be in the USA illegally. Sounds more like a Democrat to me.
