Moved Christie up a few positions, personally I'd suspect he is more likely to win than Palin.

|Says she is still considering whether to run. Registered a "sharp turnaround," according to the Marist poll conducted September 13-14, 2011, by going from 21 points behind Obama to 5 behind in one month's time. Poll also showed that a large majority of Republicans still don't want her to run.

|Leads [[Barack Obama]] in Zogby's polling (January 2011), takes on the [[public school]] teachers' unions and is a fiscal reformer who puts liberals in their place, has an unscripted style and appearance that is a refreshing alternative to the Teleprompter President. Widely discussed as a potential center-right candidate to overtake the Republican primary field with no clear frontrunners. <ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/why-christie-should-run-for-president/2011/09/24/gIQAE3B2yK_story.html Why Christie Should Run For President] Washington Post, retrieved Sept. 26th 2006.</ref> Well liked in his home state, unlike Sarah Palin.

|Significantly overweight, Picked a [[pro-abortion]] running mate when he ran for governor, and has little experience with national issues; repeatedly says he is not running; campaigned for [[RINO]] [[Mike Castle]] in [[Delaware]] who was then defeated; neither added [[New Jersey]] to one of the lawsuits against [[ObamaCare]] nor joined an [[amicus brief]] against it; ''will probably support [[Mitt Romney]]''.

|Attaining budget cuts, particularly to [[Planned Parenthood]], Christie has become a leading contender for Vice President
