- No Capes! (And One Prediction)

OK, the little Elephant with the XXL is cool, but the title of this post shouldn't be ignored. As many of you with kids know, it's a quote from the classic, deeply conservative film, The Incredibles. In the film, after several years undercover, Bob Parr has returned to doing hero work on the side and has torn his suit. So he goes to it's designer to get it repaired.

Here's the scene for those who have never seen it:



Christie's cape, is his position on guns.

I can just imagine what's going to happen to him when he does a Townhall meeting in Iowa during the presidential primary, and people bring up the fact that NJ has an Assault Weapons Ban, a 1 gun per month law, a high capacity magazine ban, treats a broken BB pistol as a firearm, regulates the ownership of sling shots, and hasn't issued a concealed carry permit to a law abiding private citizen since Michael J. Fox made his on screen appearance in a DeLorean based time machine.

Yeah - they'll just love him. I can hear the 'fat boy from NJ' jokes already. Christie should lose the cape.

I have a prediction for you. Christie's position on guns has not made the national news yet. And I predict that the first person the media will notice bringing it up will be a nationally visible pro-gun Democrat. They have those out west you know. I know it's tough to believe when Frank Lautenberg has been your Senator since the earth was still cooling, but it's true. And it will be some forward looking Democrat operator who pushes this media button first because it will cut the legs out from under Christie so effectively.
