7. Yeah it is beginning to look as if Christie is laying the groundwork for 2016.

He gets a huge win for reelection in 2014 and then he is set to run for President in 2016 with strong support from very blue NJ. But alas for him, unless it is a very different Republican party in 2016 he will not get the nomination. After the Romney debacle the Republic Party is at least as likely to go hard right as pragmatic for the next candidate.

Anyone who would attempt by intimidation or any means to suppress a citizens right to vote should be held as a phariah in the eyes of patriotic Americans. I most just punishment I can think of is for them to lose their own right to vote for life.

One guy stook up a few years ago after Florida in 2000. He died mysteriously before he could provide evidence. I suppose that if billions of bucks are at stake, people don't mess around.

Now if I can remember their names - one was the former republican gov. of florida (not Jeb). And this morning there was a female republican - possibly another former governor. Sorry details are sketchy, but it seems there are some Republicans who don't like what they are seeing in Florida.

edit: on MSNBC

I bet most Republican voters like voting early too. They don't think of the issue in strategic terms like the leaders do.

10. Republicans used to be really opposed to standard government issue IDs as well.

And the idea of a national ID was enough to set the hair on fire of tea party Republicans. So why they would go for basically everyone having to have a U.S. Passport to vote is beyond me.
