Whether you're talking about Chris Christie, or you're talking about Rick Perry or Scott Walker or John Kasich, there's more interesting evolution at the state level than there is in Washington.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know Gov. Christie. We've met a couple of times.
Scott McAdams is a nice guy, but I don't know that most Alaskans believe that he's electable.
Chris Christie is New Jersey's concern, not America's.
If you look at where presidents come from, they're former governors or senators.
As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal.
As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently.
I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.
Natural Texas politicians make terrible, terrible presidential candidates. Phil Gramm, I remember the 'Phil Gramm for President' campaign. I thought that was the worst thing in the history of the world, but Rick Perry was possibly worse.
If there's anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it's Bill Clinton.
Governors, all things being equal, I'd rather have a governor in the White House than somebody that's not had that experience.
