What does Chris Christie...

...have in common with Rick Perry?

One, his personal appeal is only regional: that tough "Jersey Guy" schtick won't play beyond the northeast any better than Perry's evangelical cowboy persona plays beyond the old Confederacy. Just ask Charlie Weis, below.


(I don't think Christie's big money donors in New York get that any better than Perry's backers in Texas.)

And, two, if Christie does announce for president, his first day on the campaign trail will be his best. (I repeat: this guy is not the savior Republicans think he is.)

Romney will probably back into the nomination and lose the general.
