From what I can tell, Governor Christie is a good guy.

He's a classic East Coast liberal Republican. People shouldn't confuse style with substance. We all love a guy who fights back and tells it like it is. But he's not on our side on a whole lot of issues.

The difference between Chris Christie and all those guys in NJ who are on the conservative side on most issues is that Chris Christie is the Governor of NJ.

That's exactly right. We are starved for an elected official who will tell some of the morons in the studio press-corp / activism audience where to get off, who says what regular people are thinking, out-loud and unfearful of being perceived the wrong way that when one arises we tend to overlook a few things.

There were democrats in 2004 who voted for Bush because even though they disagreed with him on a whole bunch of issues, at least they knew where he stood on things. Course, Bush is that same kind of republican. Better than a democrat, that’s for sure.
