I never cosidered voting for Romney, but, as of today, I am ready to
vote for Chris Christie in 2016.

I hope that the rebuilding of New Jersey will be almost complete by
the summer of 2015, at which point the "Straight Talk Express" will be
ready to roll again.

It is my firm opinion that John McCain would have won by a landslide
in 2000. The incompetent Republican establishment did irreparable harm
to the U.S. by picking W as their candidate and sabotaging McCain
through a hideous smear campaign--we will continue to pay dearly for
their incompetence and irresponsible actions.

<<McCain announced his candidacy for president on September 27, 1999
in Nashua, New Hampshire, saying he was staging "a fight to take our
government back from the power brokers and special interests, and
return it to the people and the noble cause of freedom it was created
to serve".[125][130] The leader for the Republican nomination was
Texas Governor George W. Bush, who had the political and financial
support of most of the party establishment.[131]

McCain focused on the New Hampshire primary, where his message
appealed to independents.[132] He traveled on a campaign bus called
the Straight Talk Express.[125] He held many town hall meetings,
answering every question voters asked, in a successful example of
"retail politics", and he used free media to compensate for his lack
of funds.[125] One reporter later recounted that, "McCain talked all
day long with reporters on his Straight Talk Express bus; he talked so
much that sometimes he said things that he shouldn't have, and that's
why the media loved him."[133] On February 1, 2000, he won New
Hampshire's primary with 49 percent of the vote to Bush's 30 percent.>>
