"Meet The Press" Roundtable Muses

Tom Brokaw speculates on Chris Christie going for broke on today's edition of NBC's Meet The Press:

TOM BROKAW: ...if this gets downstream in the current mode, there are a lot of old establishment Republicans who are going to be going to the Statehouse in New Jersey and saying to Governor Christie, you've got to get in on this. They've got to find somebody else who can be a player in it. Or, I think, outside of that, you're going to look at a lot of possibilities of third party candidates jumping into it.

TOM FRIEDMAN: What's interesting, though, is whether it will be brokered on Twitter or on a smoke-filled room.
