I am one who at this time would cross the primary line to vote for Cristie, but I do want to see what he does to pander to the far right that generally tends to own the primaries here in the South, first. (assuming at that time my vote would mean anything anyway given how late our primary is, and if my vote would matter in the local races on the Dem side)

There are a number of people where I either liked what I had heard before the presidential run or was neutral about them until they started campaigning in this neck of the woods.

I know all candidates pander, but when people have always voted one way and will give all that up for a couple of delegates from South Carolina, how do I really know what they are going to do once they get in office. Who is the real candidate, the more moderate voting record (which may just be what they needed to do to get elected where they are from) or the extreme right version of them.

I hear a lot more of the local extremist pandering on the Republican side given where I live than the local extremist pandering in more liberal parts of the country. Not sure what local news to follow for the how far off the deep end the Dem candidates go.
