News is that popular New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may
succumb to extensive Republican pressure and announce his candidacy for the
Presidency within days. Newsmax has learned that the effort to
draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with
Christie and several notable Republican billionaires.
COMMENTS:
Christie has thus far refused to enter the race because he
says he is too committed to New Jersey and too new in politics to run at this
time. But, major fund contributors have
stayed away from announced candidates because no one really stands out as being
the ideal candidate. If Christie decides
to get in, look for the field to thin out rapidly; we could be down to five or
six candidates by the end of next week.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you get the sense that Obama cannot now recover from
his record lows in time to win the 2012 race?
(Charlie ~ Sausalito, CA)
A. Don’t count your ducks before they hatch. Obama is a powerful and persuasive
speaker. Sometimes, I think he could
switch parties and even the Republicans would be kissing his feet.
Q. Texas just ended the practice of allowing prisoners on
death row to have a special last meal before being executed, because a recent
prisoner abused the privilege. What’s
your opinion? (Mitch ~ Las Vegas, NV)
A. Typical liberal thinking; punish the multitude for the
sins of one person. I fundamentally disagree with the
reasoning. On a lighter note, those
already on death row should sue the state for breach of contract if they don’t
get their special meals. Can you guess
how many murders were committed in Texas by people just for the purpose of
getting that special last meal?
Q. Russia’s Vladimir Putin is going to run for the
Presidency again. How can he do that? (Sam ~ Youngstown, OH)
A. Russia allows Presidents to serve two successive terms,
then to sit out at least one term. The
current President, Dmitry Medvedev, will move into Putin’s current job as Prime
Minister. But, Putin has been in charge
all along in this game of Russian charades.
I think Obama wants desperately to be his American protégé.
