Am I the only one who thinks Christie is toast in a Republican primary?

No, Republicans want to win.

The split in the Tea Party/SoCon wing will help him a lot. Only Walker can beat him by unifying the field quickly.

Agreed. Not only does Walker have electability, he is perceived as more conservative than Christie.

I don't think those two things go together. While Christie definitely has some large obstacles between him and the nomination, the ones between Scott Walker and the Presidency are far larger. To non-Republicans Walker comes across as yet one more example of elitist, right-wing hate-filled nuttery. Most non-Republicans see Christie, on the other hand, as a human being, not a sock-puppet for the wingnuts who've taken over the Republican party.
