Granted. On the other hand, sizism is one of the "acceptable" bigotries -- more so even then religion bashing -- so it may well be that it would harm Christie's chances.

It's certainly a disadvantage, but a surmountable one. He's a political heavyweight either way.

All I know is I want to see the next American President travelling around the world meeting national leaders on a mobility scooter.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Re: The Next Step for the GOP
Just because a fat guy got elected by New Jersey is no proof he is electable anywhere else but in states full of dysfunctional beach people.
I mean, did I just seriously read the arguments that if a guy can run, or get elected in, New Jersey, that he can run a nation?
This country will not elect an obese president ever again. We are too shallow in terms of image, and the government, whether dems or repubs run, is too much of a big nanny big brother, and we will be damned if a guy whose naval is deeped than his index finger is going to tell us we cannot smoke, drink, get high or buy hookers. Not going to happen. EVER.
