2011 consideration v. 2012 election
At Chris Christie: All his consideration of running for president in the end seemed to me to be better described as "happening in 2011" than "related to the (eventual) 2012 election". Both are true. The links in the article to the primaries and the election each correctly connect to respective next year's events; and "presidential" I think is sufficient to tell unequivocally what we're talking about in the section. Writing this here, I have grown to like the distinction (which I introduced late, after a fair amount of work on the article and the course of events) because it helps emphasize just how far in advance of the eventual election we are, here and now. If the "2011" causes a reader to ask him/rself "Slightly off?", so much the better I'd say. It's not off. It's just far off, most of a year-and-a-half from conclusion. A gentle reality bump, if you will.

Among other things, going with 2011 would I assume put this article slightly, apparently out of step with many others. Consistency is good. But this seems a unique enough "moment" that we could go with the off-step. Any further thoughts? Cheers. Thanks. Swliv (talk) 00:25, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I see where you're coming from, but I am not so sure readers will get the "gentle reality bump" by seeing "2011" in the section head. More likely, they will think it a typo (as I did) and change it. That's my my take anyway. BTW, I added the word "election" to the section headline to make it clear that he was considering a run in the 2012 election, even though the speculation and consideration actually took place in 2011 (which is made clear in the text of the section). --Rollins83 (talk) 22:47, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I missed the addition of "election" which does also avoid, well (as in OK), the potential almost-confusion of the 2012 v. 2011 mismatch. I do still pretty strongly prefer my gambit and don't really care if readers "get" it consciously. It'd be there and, in all of its enjoyable (for me), useful complexity, works regardless. (That's why I said the "presidential" is "sufficient". In the context of a governor's article, "presidential" clearly signals only one thing. So we don't need also a reference to either 2012, to connect to the future event, or to election (except, as you've used it, to explain "2012"). Which finally brings us to the basic writing goal of simplicity and concision. ... Which noone would probably rush to apply to me. But ... if by going with "2011" one can cut two words ... one is more concise and simple. ... All goals of course being pursued only ... "within reason". ... But I ... [do] wax ....) The version as it now stands reads pretty awkward to me. But I'm also fine with it as is, and appreciate your consideration. All best. Swliv (talk) 14:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your comments and consideration as well. If you'd like discuss this further, I would suggest doing so on the talk page of the Chris Christie article in order to gauge whether there is a consensus for your idea. I'm just one editor after all:)--Rollins83 (talk) 13:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
