When Chris Christie won election to the New Jersey governorship in 2009, he served as a useful blunt against the election of President Barack Obama.: But, after the dust settled the reality was that Christie is just another blue state Republican.:
Translation-a Liberal who puts an R in the back of his name for political expediency.:
The media loves Christie[1] which usually is the first sign they think he’s one of their own.: So get ready to read media claims that Christie is the “most electable” Republican in God’s creation.: Sound familiar?: : :
Politico[2] reports New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has made little secret that he wants a resounding win in his reelection this year as a show of strength for his all-but-assumed 2016 presidential candidacy.[3]
And Democrats appear perfectly willing to comply.
The Republican governor’s election offered an obvious opening for Democrats to try and knock the GOP’s most popular 2016 prospect down a few pegs with a barrage of negative ads before he launches his White House run. But they’ve largely taken a pass, deciding their money is better spent elsewhere or that there are more inviting targets at the moment than a Republican who embraced President Barack Obama last year in a time of need.
Despite Democrats’ built-in advantages in decisively blue New Jersey, Christie is poised to trounce his little-known rival, Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono, in November. And from there he can proceed with his longer-term plan to grab the chairmanship of the National Governors Association and use it as a platform for his 2016 ambitions.
“There are some Democrats who want to slow Christie down, and others who don’t want to slow Christie down,” said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf. “What [national Democrats are] thinking is, why get in front of a tank? The tank will do whatever it does, and we’ll still be here

I don’t see why any Democrat in New Jersey would have an problem with Chris Christie considering he’s to the left of John Kerry on the Liberal scale.: Despite what the corrupt media may say about Christie being the most popular Republican in the country, he’s the least popular among conservatives.: That’s a pretty large hurdle for him to overcome to get the GOP nod for prez in 2016.:
I think he’s got no shot.: But, the media needs to write about something.:
