I thought that was a very good line by Britt, to stick it to the GOP establishment. The buzz surrounding a possible presidential bid from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is getting louder and louder. But is the Christie buzz a media creation, or does it accurately reflect Christie’s potential to shake up the race?
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume had some discouraging words for those hoping for a Christie candidacy — and some criticism for those pushing for the governor to enter the race.
“With all due respect to my esteemed colleague Bill [Kristol], people who are chasing after Gov. Christie remind me of a pack of dogs chasing a car, and it’s not clear what they will do if they catch it,” Hume said.
“All of these issues that you cited (Christie believes in gun control, global warming, amnesty for illegals) — that’s a larger set of departures from Republican and conservative and Republican orthodoxy than Rick Perry has been accused of, and look how much trouble he’s gotten. And I’m just not sure he would wear well. It’d be big excitement at first; the style certainly works, and so on. But, I am not sure how will well he would hold up.”)

Britt has an excellent point. Christie leans a lot more left than all the other candidates running for the GOP nod. That’s the big joke. But, the GOP establishment is afraid of a true conservative getting the nomination.
