In the aftermath of last months Superstorm Sandy, the way New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie handled the disaster by working with President Barack Obama left some conservatives questioning Christies motives and political future.
One of Christies fellow New Jerseyans, HBO Real Time host Bill Maher, spoke highly of Christie. Maher is an outspoken liberal, donated $1 million to Obamas reelection bid and may not be an endorsement that Christie would otherwise seek out.

Looks like Chris takes a lot off the table too.
THAT tells you all you need to know about the NJ Doughboy.
