Yeh, okay. Whatevah. In a related matter, NoLabels has made it quite clear that they are speaking with LOTS of people, everyone and anyone. This works for Christie because, if you read the fine print, he "suspended" his campaign. He did not end it. That is a distinction with a difference. If you are suspending you are telling the Federal Elections Commission that your campaign is still alive but inactive for now and you are still doing stuff and therefore are still spending campaign funds rather than returning them. So you can bet he will be bloviating somewhere in some form about considering NoLabels even though it is for them to offer - not for him to decide. But it lets him use his campaign funds to dick around and draw a salary and expenses for another year.

Otherwise, Christie has run for president twice and is a proven non-vote getter. NoLabels doesn't need him on the ticket. They can get Romney to lose as well. No lack of losers. Larry Hogan, Romney, Huntsman, whatevah. Either Haley or Manchin or both can pull some votes. Whether it is a big "some" or a small "some" remains to be seen. But it certainly would be more than Tubby would get.

Yes---Larry Hogan and Chris Christie----that's a ticket in high demand
 
I might have said or just thought the other day that Haley could edge out Desantis slightly in Iowa.

I don't see it today. I think I was watching too many TV types. Iowans are conservative and many feel that they have already gone off the reservation just by parting company with Trump and supporting Desantis. To go all the way over to Haley would be a bridge too far for many. Also the more liberal you are, the more of a lightweight you are, so this cold weather will tamp down the turnout for the "moderates" that Haley would need to reach second. But unlike NH, Iowa's caucus/primary is limited to republicans only. It's vastly different in NH.

Right now. I see Desantis taking second in Iowa and Haley a stronger third than Desantis wants to see. Not sure but I think Iowa is a proportional rather than a winner take all state. So Haley could get third but still get a slice of the pie.

Does not change the fact that Camp Desantis is headed nowhere after NH. If he takes a weak second in Iowa and is trounced in NH, where is the next primary where he can redeem himself by getting ahead of Haley, let alone Trump?

If anyone else has a view, flop it out.

EDIT UPDATE: Just heard that the Iowa newspaper poll coming out later today places Haley in second. I will hold with what I said above though. Can't be whipped around by every little media buzz.
