She may be a hit with the base, but she won't be hitting the trail for Christie. (CNN) — New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie says he won't invite Sarah Palin to join him on the campaign trail. "This is about New Jersey issues and New Jersey, and I don't think having Gov. [...]

If McDonnell was smart, he would keep Palin at bay. If that woman steps foot in VA, he can kiss the election goodbye.

Cautiously optimistic that Rush might change Christie's mind and force Christy to invite her. After all . . . Rush had Steele revise his statement that Palin was more suitable to run in 2016, causing Steele to accept the possibility of a 2012 scenario. The GOPs newest threat is what to DO with pesky Palin? You betcha she is here to stay.

Christie is smart to stear clear of Palin during his campaign. He knows that the only reason she would be there is to promote herself. I think most Republicans understand what Palin's limitations are and they don't want to be associated with her stridency and inadequacies.

Once again, I love how a Palin post gets over 300 comments in minutes. If someone really is an idiot and useless, than don't pay them any attention. However if you have a fear than you will take time and effort to be sure and try and rip them down. If you really want her to go away, stop posting about her and CNN and the rest will see there is no interest and move on…. You just can't do it though can you? :-)

YEah... sounds like a very polite way to say the since the average IQ of NJ voters is 30% higher then former governor Palin's it will be better for republicans in NJ to keep Palin..... somewhere else.

I can see that! Rudy should be of much help than Palin. Keep Palin for states like Ohio, NC, VA, so so, The notheast was not really Palin's strong hold but, Rudy will help.

I think it's a good idea for other states to keep her away. As a registered Independent, I find her hate and fear-mongering a bit over the top. We need people that will work in a positive way to make things better for people -- on the people that want to control everything thru hate and fear. KILL HIM KILL HIM being yelled at her ralies totally convinced me that she knows no God that I've ever heard of.

Good plan Christie. People in New Jersey can actually read and think for themselves so having Failin' Palin show up to "help" would be like tossing an anchor to a drowning man. I'm sure down South in banjo country Faux News Princess Palin will actually be a boon to McDonnell since Southerners can no longer read, write or think critically and are becoming ever more obese like their idol Limbaugh while sitting on their sofas listening to Fixed News.

Any republican asking for palin's help is making a mistake. She is a liability! It is a lot like throwing gasoline on a fire when you are trying to put it out.

I'm willing to bet there will be a lot of democrats who will NOT be asking for campaign help from Obama as 2010 draws near and the campaign contiunes to falter. Let's see how much of an emphasis CNN puts on that.
