Christie: "sé que podría ganar pero no estoy preparado"

El Gobernador Christie entrevistado por Rich Lowry, editor del National Review:

(...) "Yes. Believe me, I’ve been interested in politics my whole life. I see the opportunity. But I just don’t believe that’s why you run. Like I said at AEI, I have people calling me and saying to me, “Let me explain to you how you could win.” And I’m like, “You’re barking up the wrong tree. I already know I could win.” That’s not the issue. The issue is not me sitting here and saying, “Geez, it might be too hard. I don’t think I can win.” I see the opportunity both at the primary level and at the general election level. I see the opportunity.

But I’ve got to believe I’m ready to be president, and I don’t. (...)


La opinión de Lowry:

(...) On the readiness front, you can’t argue with what he feels, but I think he’s wrong. He’s at least as ready as Bill Clinton in 1991 (indecisive governor of a small state), George W. Bush in 1999 (decisive governor of big state, but in a very weak office), and Barack Obama in 2007 (no executive experience whatsoever). I joked with the governor that if he’s getting better every day, by November 2012, he’ll be ready to go. He laughed, but seemed unconvinced. (...)

Pues si tan seguro está que se presente. Lo que yo creo que se está posicionando como runing mate para la convención de Tampa. No lo sé pero esa es mi impresión

Yo también le ubico en la carrera de futuribles Runing Mate. Rivales: McConell, Thune, o incluso Petreus.

Para nada. Si no toma el riesgo de ser candidato en 2012 con menos motivo va a tomar el de ser candidato a VP. Christie sólo puede ser Presidente, y si no se presenta centrarse en gobernar New Jersey.
