GOP governors in Blue States are trying to get re-elected.

They’re not stupid. They read the election returns last November. They’re only doing what voters who re-elected Obama want.

Is that what Christie was doing when he gave Obama a late election photo op that helped (in small part) create those election results? The mistake that these governors in Blue States always make, that RINO’s always make, is assuming that in a blue state, democrats will cross the line and vote for a Republican. Lemme tell ya, if Chris Christie had personally rebuilt every house destroyed by Sandy, the people living in those houses would say, “thank you” and promptly march to the polls and pull the lever for the “D” as per their programming.

The key to victory in a blue state is tapping into voter discontent with the other side (you know, the thing that gets the R in the office in the first place). But guys like Christie just can’t do that because once he gets into office he gets all “reachy acrossy the aisley” and simply can’t attack his new “good friends” on the other side of the aisle. Meanwhile, his “good friends” on the other side of the aisle will be kicking him right in the nuts.

"They’re only doing what voters who re-elected Obama want."

Great strategy (Which is easy to figure out BTW, explaining this does not make the actions responsible) considering voters for limited government which helped Scott and Christie get elected in the first place will most likely not make that mistake again. I believe a conservative backlash is coming which will dampen a lot of moderate civil servants, hence the need to whore themselves out to the gimme crowd.

If you go down, becoming a prostitute is not honorable at all. Lukewarm pragmatic civil servants are why we are over-regulated and in debt. Even if they survive, (*Cough* Brown *Cough, cough* got taught a lesson) future generations get the shaft.
