I saw the same results of exit polling. Christie's slobbering over obama, as opposed to the Bloomberg response, (No thanks, we're too busy, barack) did severe harm to the Romney cause. Christie's failure of judgment and self-restraint has done severe harm to the entire Nation for the next four years. Every one who cares about our future, such as it may be, should not forget what Christie did to us for the sake of his own tepid re-election campaign chances next Fall.
That was not the whole story on Romney. Religious bigotry played a significant role as well. But it defies reality to ignore an obvious contaminant in the operation.
