Another reason why I think people who think Christie's chances have got it wrong is because I think he's a comparatively skilled politician. That's something that people sometimes ignore here. You can't predict elections just by seeing who ticks off the relevant ideological boxes. You also need to factor in the political skills of the candidates. And Christie's in much better shape on that score than, say, Huntsman. Which is why I'm not yet convinced that Christie has Huntsmanned himself.
Agreed. Huntsman's Mandarin moment in the debates was cringe-worthy.
