Since when has it had a very conservative leaning? Because the last election proved that it wasn't. Along with almost every poll that I have seen. As for the comment that Chris Christie would be bad for the country? He at least seems to want to help and actually asks for help from Obama when his state needed it. Instead of scoffing at him saying he wouldn't take anything from him. Hes someone the country could get behind, but the problem is he would never make it through the primaries because people like Karl Rove destroy this country.
