Time Magazine's most recent cover features an abstract darkened shot of the Governor with his mouth open, and the headline: “The Elephant in the Room - How Chris Christie can win over the GOP”

If Chris Christie decides to seek a presidential run, he will have to win over The Republicans. Those that don’t accept him are going to have to recognize “The Elephant in the Room” and I don’t mean that as a fat joke--I mean that as a fact. How do you feel?
