Words that just torpedoed Gov. Christie’s chances for the GOP nomination:

Christie’s actually playing it smart. You can’t win the general with the GOP base. You can, however, win the general if you bring the swing vote over to your side. And Christie knows that the GOP is doing its best to get its ass handed to it in 2014, so there will be a huge fucking reset going into 2016, with moderation being the new right. It’s going to be tough for whoever is the Democratic candidate, and I hope that Rand Paul or someone insane is on the GOP ticket, because a reinvented GOP will get a strong backwind from the media as they love to see a close contest (hence the Romney could beat Obama bullshit for six months).
