Christies already considered to be a major contender for the 2016 republican president ial nomination. And, of course, a win in this blue Northeastern State would make his argument that the gop wins when it runs mainstream conservative candidates not tea partiers on the fringes. And in new york city, Democrat Bill de blasio has an enormous lead in preelection polls. Hes poised to be the first democratic mayor of the largest city in 24 years. Howard fineman and david corn.

The president obamas trying to destroy the gop. Trying to shove them into the dust pan of history. Heres a hint. President obama doesnt need to do that. Republicans are doing it just fine all by themselves. For all their bluster about change, gop leaders insist on no overall at all is needed. One gop official everyone says we dont need a new pair of shoes, we just need to shine our shoes. Shine their shoes . Thats not goods enough. Republicans need to try walking in someone elses shoes for a change. Because for all of their talk about out reach to women, the rnc just approved a resolution. Calling on congress to defunct planned parenthood with no objections. And while support for womens rights to choose is at an alltime high. Heres what Speaker Boehner says is his fundamental goal. With all the mistakes, its becoming more and more important for us to share the truth with our young people and encourage them to lock arms, speak out for life and help make abortion a relic of the past.
