More craziness from Senator Jim Inhofe (R. Ok):
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/...
In an interview with The Oklahoman, Inofe said he'd "have a hard time" backing the newly re-elected New Jersey governor for president. Inhofe evidently is one of many Republicans who believes that Christie's response to Hurricane Sandy last year helped secure a second term for President Barack Obama.
"Christie I still hold responsible for ... the re-election of Obama," Inhofe said, as quoted by The Oklahoman.
When the reporter asked if Inhofe was referring to Sandy, the senator said, "And the way [Christie] handled it, yeah." - TPM, 11/11/13
Here's the interview question by the way:
http://newsok.com/...
Q Immediately after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's re-election victory (on Nov. 5), there was talk of him running for president. Could you support Chris Christie for president?
A: I'd have a hard time supporting Chris Christie.
Q: What about the talk that for the Republicans to win they're going to have to find someone who has crossover appeal like Christie does?
A: I can't think of a time in the history of my association with the Republican Party when that debate hasn't gone on ... I'm of the school that you've got to show a distinction between Democrats and Republicans. And in order to have the base energized, you've got to show that the party stands for something. Christie I still hold responsible for ... the re-election of Obama.
Q: Because of Sandy (hurricane relief)?
A: And the way he handled it, yeah. - The Oklahoman, 11/10/13
Yep, good luck winning people like Inhofe over in 2015, Christie. If you want to learn more about Inhofe's challenger, Matt Silverstein (D. OK), you can click here:
