You’re both right: Christie’s not a conservative and he’s as good as you’ll get statewide in NJ. Saying ‘no’ to this tunnel, asking for incredibly minor concessions from the teachers unions, and a piddling cut in state government (something like 1200 people to be laid off) is actually no great fiscal conservative in an overgrown and overtaxed state like NJ.
What Christie is good at is sounding tough and intelligent at the same time. That’s got too many people falling for him as a national leader at the moment. In my book, however, he’s not even half a Giuliani on conservative substance—and that’s not much.
