I saw a rumor about Pataki on Political Wire last week, and there seems to be a lot of buzz about Christie now (though the latest at Political Wire is that NJ Dems are weighing a recall attempt, but leaning against it). One of the more recent PW pieces about Christie (IIRC) was that Pawlenty campaign staffers are waiting to see what he and Paul Ryan will do before deciding which ship to jump to now that Pawlentys out of it. I even saw something earlier about Fred Thompson. Party watchers have said Palins upcoming schedule screams "presidential candidate" and several Tea Party activists are predicting she'll declare on Labor Day.
Meh. Can't see any of those getting enough traction to get anywhere except obviously Palin, but she won't win either, so if she's smart (or her advisors are) she'll stay out.
But whyever would NJ Dems want to recall Christie? Part of the praise for him is that he's so moderate and bipartisan, as far as I'm aware...
Obama's THAT vulnerable (hovering around 40% is a generous assessment of his approval rating) and the GOP field is THAT weak. Romney should cruise to the nomination and give us a choice between the open corporate crony or the one "still in the closet". Obamas best hope, according to conventional wisdom and the actions of his re-election campaign, is that Perry's nominated, but this is probably just Perrys Name Recognition Tour: Obama vs. Romney, and may the worst corporate shill win.
Seems likely, certainly. Though I'd still give you two suggestions: one, don't forget how very much can change during the course of a campaign once it really starts; and two, but that one is probably rather futile, you do realize you don't have to say this a million times per day for people to know what your stance is.
Gallup: it's a close one atm

Christie has gone after the teachers unions and they can't tolerate that

Doesn't matter because Ron Paul doesn't appeal to enough republican primary voters to face Obama
