Say these are your options. Barb, shoosh. Say for whatever reason? These are your options. Which would you vote for. I'm not going to put a "none of the above." If you can't pick one then in THIS election, you're not voting. No write-ins, either.
 
I would vote for Christie from the three on the list. I like how he doesn't take crap from people and isn't afraid to confront those who lie about him to his face. He isn't just talk.
 
Same. I need to do some actual research, but his is the name that's the most well-known to me.

My only real concern has nothing to do with politics. I worry about his health, due to weight. And as twice the woman I used to be, I got no room to talk. But our president does need to be in good health. It's an incredibly high-stress job.

I can agree with that. Although he is still fairly young. We did have Taft as the president who I believe had to have a special tub made to fit him. Although I do like that Christie doesn't dance around his words and is strait to the point.
 
Vote early, vote often!!

Nowait.
 
any of them in the General. I wouldn't vote for Christie or Bush in the Primary - and I would hope Ryan doesn't enter it.
 
Nobody is voting. Sorrow. :(

I won't vote for anyone of them. However, if I had to vote for one of them, I would probably vote for Jeb Bush. He has demonstrated he is far and away better than George. Neither Ryan nor Christie impress me very much.
 
Only reason I'd vote for Christie is to get him out of NJ.
 
I voted Ryan, but we must be talking 2016 already. None of them are running in 2012 :)
 
Noise is being made to shove them into play.
 
I honestly don't know enough about Jeb to give a reasoned and sound vote for him.

I like Ryan, a lot, and think he'd be a great candidate one of these days. That said, in general I like my Presidents to have Executiive experience and without that and with only experience in the House I think I'd prefer him to get a bit more seasoning.

Therefore, I'd have to go with Christie. From what I've seen I like his politics, it seems he's actually getting results which is always helpful, and he's got executive experience.
 
I don't like Jeb. I don't like Christie. I don't know Jack about Ryan (hur hur hur).

I guess that answers that question. :lol:
 
Yeah, I need to read more about JB.

i know this is awful, but for me, the name says it all. no freaking way should another bush be elected. i'm not sure ryan could carry even his state. so if i HAD to vote, it would be christie.
 
Bush is popular among Cubans in Florida (winning 80 percent of the Cuban vote in 2002) and popular among non-Cuban Hispanics (56 percent in 2002, equaling the 56 percent he won statewide). As a longtime supporter of Israel,[30] Bush also maintains a significant connection to Florida's Jewish voters. He was endorsed in his two winning Governor races by a national Jewish publication, and won 44 percent of the state's Jewish vote in the 2002 Governor's race.[31] Many black voters support his focus on public education and parental choice in education, and a number of Black Republican clubs have risen in Florida.[32] In his re-election in 2002, Bush surprised critics by winning the white female vote in the swing-voting battleground of Central Florida's I-4 corridor.[33] Most recently, he has reached out extensively to Florida's Haitian community...

On January 27, 2007, Bush spoke as the keynote speaker at the National Review Institute's Conservative Summit in Washington, D.C. speaking about the Democratic take over in Congress. He told political conservatives "we lost, and there are significant reasons that happened, but it isn't because conservatives were rejected. It's because we rejected the conservative philosophy in this country."[42] He told them “don't…abandon conservative principles…we don't need to be the end all and be all for every special interest group, for every constituent that you like, for every person that's given a fundraising check to your campaign, for everything that is just wrong about public policy and politics”.[43] In attendance at the summit was former chairman of the Republican National Committee Ed Gillespie who said if he, like Bush, “left office with approval ratings above 60 percent…he might be in Des Moines today [preparing for the presidential primary]”.[42] Bush denied rumors that he would run for President in 2008, but “when questioned did not rule out running as a vice presidential candidate.” He joked about being out of work for the first time in his life but said he is happy for the opportunity to “take a pause.”[43]

He was decent regarding the environment.

A name doesn't say it all, though I'm sure racists used that same reasoning when hearing the name "Barack Obama" in 2008. It's not about the name, the race, the religion - it's about the person, their character, their track record, their actions and not so much about their words.

I'd certainly vote for any of them but it would depend on those factors I identified. I know more about Christie as he's my State Gov., and I know a little about Ryan and know nothing about Jeb Bush.
