The weight issue is a problem. He lost a bit a few months ago. I don’t know if he gained it back like the Huckster.

Come on…he is from New Jersey…the weight fits his tough guy image!

We’ve become a rather superficial nation in terms of appearance. A fat guy can win as guv, but rolling his fat body all around the country for America to see for the next year and a half? That’s not how you get elected in this age.

Now if he suddenly lost a bunch of weight, that would be different. He could use that as an example of personal redemption (or some other media-ready narrative).
