He drops out before and i do think this idea that they re all going to suffocate each other and a significant one. and i think to james s point, the union leader backing christie and christie having this opportunity, they are in many ways, trying to point the support in one direction and to give him a little bit of a life raft. the reality is, he may have the strongest natural political skills in the bunch and that makes him stand out in a place like that. when you look at the establishment lane, i know they would recoil at the label, but if you put christie, rubio, kasich and bush in the establishment lane. christie s running with the union leader leader endorsement. does one of them have a leg up now in terms of consolidating that support? rubio s been having buzz for the last month or so, but he s getting criticism for his ground game in the state. the largest team in the state is jeb bush, in terms of actually having staff and people. ....
