Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has spent his gubernatorial campaign avoiding other people's scandals. Emphasizing policy and refusing to make Wendy Davis's false life story the center of the race, it was little surprise that Abbott chose not to meet with scandal-plagued RGA Chairman Chris Christie when he visited Texas yesterday.
But Abbott wanted nothing to with the New Jersey governor and was quick to announce that he would not meet with Christie at any of the RGA's private events. Current Governor Rick Perry, who has no elections to worry about, made the same decision. Abbott's team stated that he had already planned an event focused on immigration policy in Houston that day, and it would be inexpedient to cancel to see Christie.
Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa held a press conference to attack Christie's "culture of intimidation and retribution" and in the process claim that the New Jersey scandal "is in a lot of respects a mirror image of what you see here in Texas with Rick Perry and Greg Abbott."

Texas Republicans giving Christie a wide berth.
Otherwise WHY would he be in Texas? Do they have toll Highways there that can be restricted?
If Rick Perry & Greg Abbott didn’t see him, wonder if called on the Abortion Barbie?
Krispy is everything Texans do NOT want in the WH. Romney was too, but our primaries are so late the GOPE candidate is chosen before Texans even get to vote our primaries.
Pretty stupid, if you consider the Statesmen Texas has been sending to Capital Hill the last couple years.
BTTT! lol
What are Abbott’s views on Christie and Perry’s tuition pandering?
I just hope Abbott doesn’t try the old Nixon approach of sitting on a lead in 1968.
Fat boi is a dead man waddling.
