SCOTT JOHNSON ON THE is Chris Christie too fat to be President question: “I think the answer to the question is, obviously, no. Voters are in a mood for the anti-Obama. Christie would provide the perfect contrast, right down to the waistline. Christie’s weight isn’t a glitch; it’s a feature. His weight is an element of his authenticity.”

This goes back to the Insta-Daughter’s theory of presidential opposites, in which each President is chosen to be the opposite of his predecessor. What’s the opposite of a skinny black guy from Hawaii? A fat white guy from New Jersey!

UPDATE: Roger Simon emails: “What’s the opposite of a phony black guy from Hawaii? A real black guy from Georgia.” Good point!
