Has Christie Made His Pick for Prez in 2012?

With Chris Christie repeatedly turning down calls for him to run for president in 2012, the question now is, who will he support for the GOP nomination? According to CBS, we have an answer. And it’s found in the Hoosier state.

After a rousing speech by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels’s wife, Cheri, on Thursday that included a crowd chant of “Run Mitch, run,” the speculation that the former Bush budget director might enter the race is at an all-time high. And with quotes like this one, he’s sure stoking the presidential fire: “This whole business of running for national office — I‘m not saying I won’t do it.”

But unless one can secure strong support from others who have influence, a presidential run is DOA. That would mean that a Daniels run would be quite alive and vibrant. According to CBS sources, he would have the backing of not only the Bush family, but also conservative rock star Chris Christie:

Reflecting what many observers see as weak Republican field, the pressure on Daniels to run has been intense. He has been assured backing from big-money donors who supported George W. Bush, in addition to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, as well as top sitting Republican governors.

Sources tell CBS News popular New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has told Daniels he would back him, as would Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

And as a sign of how important his wife is to the decision, sources tell CBS News that even former First Lady Laura Bush has called Cheri Daniels personally to encourage her to support the effort and offer advice on how to define what her role on the campaign–and potentially in the White House–would be.

In a field that has so far been underwhelming, that is big news. Those are the kind of supporters that can carry one to the GOP nomination and even to the White House. Still, there’s that detail that needs to be worked out first: Will Daniels decide to run?

“It’s closer to a decision,” Daniels told reporters after Thursday’s event, a state GOP fundraising dinner. “We owe the people an answer. If we’re going to do it, we have to get on the road to do it.”

What does Cheri think?

“We’re having a lot of talks,” she said. “It’s not just me. I have four daughters, and I have three sons-in-law, and everybody has a voice.”

True. But remember, so do supporters. Like Christie.

    Mitch Daniels is no “RINO”. Mitch governs intelligently and conservatively. He is brilliant but is not a rabble-rouser. I want a fighter too but I would prefer to have a smart, successful, conservative fighter who knows how to win instead of throwing out “red meat” then losing to Obama.
    Mitch will run and he will be formidable and he will improve the debate.
    I’ve called Limbaugh about Mitch but Rush wants a Quixotic warrior chasing windmills….sorry, that’s a losing bet. Mitch is more Reaganesque than anyone else except Palin and I don’t think she is running.

      Daniels is reaganesque? Where do you get that? the man who didn’t want to right the democrats, who wants a ‘truce’? Clearly Daniels is a bush-clone…a RINO someone who won’t stand up and fight. and with his recent admission about Obama’s foreign policy, clearly he is not up for the job of president.

    The White House isn’t that big of deal. I believe the real seats of power for We the People are in Congress, the state houses, the state attorneys general, the governorships, the counties, and the school boards. Vote out the liberals in those places and replace them with solid Constitutionalists, and Obow is a lame duck at the very start of his second term.

    At the same time, Conservatives assume the reins of influence in the RNC, to rid the Party of RINOs like McCain while keeping good men like Congressman West. Over time, we groom men and women like him for higher position.

    Our real influence and power is in those places I listed, and they’re probably the only places from where we can save our country.

    I’d take a serious look at Allen West. Christie is good on the economy, but if he’s not seriously pro-life and pro 2nd Amendment, he won’t get my vote. I’m not ready to write off Sarah Palin, either. Anyone the Left hates that much has got to have some great things going for him/her. Herman Cain is another possibility. Then there is Rick Santorum to consider.

This Governor made it law in Indian that your taxes are only 1% of the value of your home. Here where I live taxes have gone up between $500 and $750 the last two years. I pay $10,000 in taxes a year for a 6000 sq. foot home! Indiana’s Governor has been suspected of being a Christian as well. He just took funding away from Planned Parent Hood as well.

      Mitch Daniels is a Conservative who sounds like a Moderate. The Establishmenht Republicans like him because he doesn’t talk a lot about the social issues, but that’s okay with me, because the guy votes Conservative every time. I‘ve been watching him for over a year thinking there is no way he’s as good as someone told me, but I‘ve come to the conclusion he’s the real deal. The Dems must be chortling to think that they’ve fooled some on the Right into believing they actually want Daniels to run–I can almost guarantee he’s their least favorite choice of opposition to Obama in 2012.

    @Code_Orange–On what planet do you live? Obama has flip flopped on too many issues to name and his entire “cabinet” is made up of lobbyists and Union leaders.

    As for Mitch–yes he is a bit too RINO-esque (e.g., supports Lugar’s re-election), but as a Hoosier, I’ll tell you he has done a great job as governor–~75% approval rating. Getting a true Libertarian like Johnson or Paul in the WH is fantasy (great fantasy, but fantasy nonetheless). So, we need somebody (anybody) that can defeat the Stealthy Socialist as 4 more years would destroy our Country–Mitch just might be able to do it.

    The first thing I don‘t like about Mitch is that he is the Democrat’s favorite candidate.
    When the idea of curtailing union power came up in Indiana, Democrats in the legistlature ran to hide in Illinois. Mitch caved in with promises to do nothing, thus becoming their the Democrat’s favorite governor. He has also been the Republican‘s first governor in line to beg for Obama’s money. McCain was bought and paid for by money from George Soros. Mitch has been bought and paid for by Obama. I am still awaiting the thousands of job coming to Indiana if the state switched to Day Light Savings Time.

    Come on folks…do your research. Enough with this Trump business I keep seeing in the comments. It doesn’t take a whole lot of time to cut through the bull when it comes to this guy….and it doesn’t take a whole lot of critical thought to see the fallacy of some of his arguments. While they feel good to hear, and it is always fun to see someone stand up to the current bullies, we need more than that.
    Furthermore, Chris Christie is not the total package. He may have a lot of what I’m looking for on the fiscal issues, he falls short beyond that.
    What I sense is that we are all looking for someone that is going to take it to this administration both on the campaign trail and in debates. We are tired of the PC..we want a straight shooter. That is the appeal of Trump, Christie, Paul, and Cain.
    I not only want a straight shooter and someone who will take it to Obama in a debate, I want someone who will respect the office and understand who it serves. I want someone who will set the standard for the Country in principles and ideals, as well as the credentials to pull this great country out of it’s spending death spiral. Who can do that for us?

      Let me throw up a “for example” issue—legalized drugs
      I believe in freedom supported by values. Freedom cannot be if it leads to less freedom through the absence of moral clarity. Take a look at California or Amsterdam and ask the realists how that is working out. While you might get stories of how great it is on the surface, if you dig deeper, you will find it is becoming a real societal and economic problem. It doesn’t take a lot of deep critical thought to understand the taint of something like this.
      I know there are pure libertarians who will argue this to the grave on the other side, but you’ll never win me over. It would be the suspension of common sense for me to buy into the crap studies on this.

      Christie is no Gun Advocate

      Christie provides us with an ethical code enforcing strict action and an attitude to “get the job done”.

      Christie has Radical Islamic and Hamas Issues

      Christie has serious issues concerning the appointment a Muslim Lawyer Sohail Mohammed to a Superior Court. One of Mohammed’s clients – radical imam Mohammed Qatanani, head of one of New Jersey’s largest mosques. Qatanani has several open associations with the terrorist organization Hamas.

      “The move was newsworthy in New Jersey because an HLF officer, Mohammed El-Mezain, preceded Qatanani as imam of the Islamic Center of Passaic County. El-Mezain and four fellow defendants were CONVICTED of illegally routing millions of dollars to Hamas in 2008”

      Much more to read… too little time. Read for yourself, and then let the closet door open and all the skeletons will fall out.

      This is a joke, another part of the “Dear Satan, Anybody BUT Ron Paul” campaign.

      I wouldn’t vote for gun-grabber Christie and I’m not voting for any candidate that Establishment Republicans put forth.

      We know they are warmongering liberals. That’s all neocons are. Bush’s doctrine of “pre-emptive war” has gotten us here, where Obama continues the agenda under the guise of “humanitarian intervention” and “obligation to act”.

      I am from NJ and I can tell you my property taxes have just gone up again. I voted for Christie and like what he stands for but I feel it is lip service only. Until I have more money in my pocket he is just another politician. House is going on the market and moving to PA.

      @Cessna,
      Welcome to the neighborhood.
      Make sure you bring your bible and your guns. You know that is all we do.
      Go to the range 4 days a week and to church the other 3.
      Instead of a welcome cake, can I bring you some new targets?
      Also, our property taxes were reduced by $142.00 this year due to Corbett’s honesty and distributing the Casino profits to the people.
      YIPEE uh…. I mean BANG!

      Sarcasm… right? Actually my Bible is in my gun cabinet and I CCW in Church. First I have to sell my home… I am sure liberals want to move to a state that takes $15,000 out of your pocket before you make your first dollar. One thing I would like to know… what other taxes are there? Obviously property tax but I heard there is a 1% school tax and a 3% flat tax tax (income)? If so, I will end up paying about the same in taxes.

      For example:
      NJ real estate tax $8000. Tax of 1% is a total of $9000
      PA- $4000 PT, 3% plus 1% ($4000)= $8000?

      If that is true it ain’t much different but please correct me if I am wrong. Either way, house is on the market.

      The liberal media, and even Obama has said “Oh man if Mitch Daniels runs, it’s gonna be hard to beat him, he’s a SERIOUS contender”.

      Do you REALLY think that the liberal media and Obama are going to be TRUTHFUL in telling us who they would have a hard time defeating?

      I live in the geographic area known as the “Garden Spot” otherwise know for the place Turkey Hill Ice Cream is “exported”. In PA we have a one time 2 % transfer tax upon purchase of the home. ( 1 % to the municipality and 1 % to the County.) On top of that there is 6 % sales tax on non perishable, non durable goods. Our income tax in our county is .10% Our state employment tax 3.07 %. Here in the land of plenty, our unemployment rate is very low, and thousands of new residents are moving here to retire. Our Unemployment tax is high, considering I am a Chapter S and can never take advantage of the benefit of unemployment. . Remember we are still reeling from the misguided direction of the “Fast Eddie Rendell Administration” The following site may help sort things out
      http://www.revenue.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/individuals/11405/tax_rates/594648

      I find real estate values are holding here and the availability of new housing is endless. The time to buy RE is now.. But, PA is a big state, and upstate is in terrible shape. Upstate residents are moving here as well. As our Quaker Brothers said 350 years ago, “Come to the land of plenty”
      Freedom to speak, preach, pray and work the fertile grounds of PA.

      Cessna,
      Oh I forgot about RE Taxes. Re taxes are based on the municipality and the school district you reside. Some are more and some are less. They are based on a valuation figure for your home, and then the taxes are levied in mills. 10 mills to the cent vs the valuation. So if my house was worth 200 K, and my tax rate is .15 mills, the total school tax would be $3000.00 Here is a good site to that shows all of the taxes combined to realize a total tax. You should be able to compare this to NJ easily. http://www.realchoicerealestate.com/Lancaster%20County%20Millage%20Rates.htm

      As if we the people, really need the Federal government telling us what drugs to use or not, while the Military is helping the Taliban move heroin in Afghanistan, and the CIA and BATFE is helping the drug cartels move marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs, cash, and guns across our southern border…hypocrits.

      Feddie Government can kiss my bong.

      Ron Paul 2012.

      Liberals are scared to death of this man because he will actually pull votes away from Obama, just by supporting decriminalization of marijuana and other drugs, he gains a ridiculous multitude of new voters and voters who would have never voted republican before.

      Neocons are scared to death of this man because he will end the ridiculous wars, bring our troops home, and audit then ABOLISH the Federal Reserve.

      They ought to be scared.

      Conservatives seem to find themselves in the defense- which is catching up the rear so to speak.

      I love Ron Paul but he is not a governor. I will never vote for a mere Senator.
      No to Christy,Romney,Daniels,Huckabee, Newt (snake with legs!) Pawlenty, or Paul.
      No adulterous,gluttonous,idolatrous, or murderous Anti Christ neocons for me..

      To lump Ron Paul into that nasty pile of candidates shows how uninformed you are.

      Ron Paul stands in stark contrast to those candidates.

      Just because he hasn’t been a governor seems like a pretty weak reason not to vote..but hey.

      No skin off my nose. I’m writing his name in regardless.

      BTW, Paul is a Congressman, not a Senator.

      Obama will win if you allow him. And if you allow him, you deserve all the crap that follows.

      Enough with Daniels he has proven to be scared to debate Obama on Foreign Affairs when my five year could debate him on his worst area, Foreign Affairs.
      Enough with the wolf in sheeps clothing Gov. Christie who has proven also to be a Rhino for not joining the fight to defeat OBAMACARE in court and backing MIKE CASTLE over Christine O’Donnell as did Karl Rove who we know is a big progressive as Glen Beck pointed out. We all know Mike Castle’s voting record which was progressive and favorable to OBAMA.

      Mitch Daniels bores me. I‘m not saying he wouldn’t make a fine president, but he just bores me. I get sleepy watching him. I’m not saying he has to be an entertainment genius or anything, but he just puts me to sleep. It’s like a heavy fatigue that envelops me. I’m not saying his policies are bad, but he just doesn’t have that umph that I would prefer. You know what I mean?

      I know a lot of the posters here are Rush fans. I listen to Rush every day.

      How many of you remember Rush’s “Operation Chaos” from the last political election? Rush told all of his listeners to vote for Hillary so that it would cause chaos in the democrat primary.

      Welcome to Obama’s “Operation Chaos”, 2012 Version.

      We are still smarting from having McCain as our candidate. He was terrible. So the conservative leaders like Rush, Sean etc have stated that we will not allow the media to pick our candidate (which is a joke since people vote……..media does not).

      Knowing that about Rush and Sean, Obama and his minions are out there giving good reviews regarding Mitch Daniels, who is a strong Conservative and called the deficit a Red Menace. And as expected, Rush has gone on the attack against Daniels……probably the best Conservative choice for 2012. And Obama is laughing at it.

      Obama’s Operation Chaos has started. Think about it……..

      And with regard to Rep. Paul, simply Google Ron Paul Earmarks. He is not the fiscal Conservative that he portrays and his supporters believe him to be.

      Just what we need (NOT) : ” The glaring reason for the family‘s hesitation is a 1990s gap in the couple’s marriage, when Mrs. Daniels divorced the now-governor and fled to California with a doctor, who was married at the time. Mrs. Daniels returned to Indiana several years later and remarried Mitch. It has long been assumed that the experience is a painful one for the couple that they do not like speaking about publicly. ” from Drudge article re Daniels/wife. Great, eh? SARAH AND HERMAN…folks that’s the winning ticket!! or DONALD and HERMAN if Sarah Won’t Run.
