Right-on analysis dead...
But you gotta give Christie an A in self interest and survival(at least in NJ) , even though he slaps around the House GOP to do it. He is no dummy.
Let's face it, if he took stands with the GOP contrary to NJ polls and lost this years election (much like Scott Brown did last year) you would have bunch here saying he lost NJ because he is a RINO, as they do with Brown.
Plus look at all that praise he gets from Joe and Mika, they must make his fat head spin.
