I like Christie too, but if he runs, he'll have handlers and I'm sure they would all tell him to drop weight for his public image. It has nothing to do with his positions on political stuff, but in the back of people's minds will be thoughts of the health issues involved with being obese. Let's not be gentle, his weight qualifies him as morbidly obese. .................
Who Is Considered Morbidly Obese?
"According to the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH), the term "morbid obesity" is defined as being 50-100 percent above one's ideal body weight, or 100 pounds above one's ideal body weight.
A person with a BMI (body mass index) value of 40 or greater would also be considered morbidly obese. An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is considered merely "obese."
