re: #321 erik_t

Media outlets are trying to push Pawlenty as his go-to guy, and downplaying Christie or Rubio. One spin relating to Christie is that he’s hoping to get the keynote speech at the convention, which would put him in position for 2016. By that logic, it would suggest that Christie doesn’t think Romney’s going to win, and he doesn’t want to be saddled with that problem. He’d rather have the latitude to go for 2016 without being tied to a failed run in 2012.
