Messina Picks the Top Tier GOP Candidates

Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina says that Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and John Kasich are the presidential candidates to watch on the Republican side, The Hill reports.

Said Messina: “I think Chris Christie could potentially be a very strong general election candidate, obviously Jeb Bush is the flavor of the week. I think the country suffered during the first two Bush administrations, I can’t imagine them wanting a third, but I know everyone’s looking at him. I think John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, would be an interesting candidate. So those are the three that I think make sense.”
