There was a festive vibe to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s Sunday visit to AT&T Stadium and the Cowboys-Giants. Traveling with the governor were his wife, Mary Pat, and their eldest son, Princeton undergrad Andrew Christie. The family came as guests of the GOP’s national finance chair Ray Washburne and sat in the suite that Washburne shares with his father-in-law, oilman Al G. Hill Jr.

Last week, both Mary Pat and Chris Christie had birthdays. So a cake iced with blue stars (the governor has been a Cowboys fan since he was 7) was waiting in the Washburne-Hill suite.

Among those coming by to touch base with Gov. Christie were Texas AG and gubernatorial hopeful Greg Abbott and state representative and AG hopeful Dan Branch.

Accompanied by national GOP chairman Reince Priebus, Gov. Christie made his way over to Jerry Jones’ owner’s suite and into the private Batcave where Jones watches games with his sons, Stephen and Jerry Jr.

Chris Christie popped into the cake.

[TexGrill]

Did Greg Abbott get to eat the cake too? Or did Christie swallow the entire cake in one bite?

I have defended Abbott, but this is to much.

As far as Christie? He id dead to me.

This aint kissing babys, this is greasing palms.

But Christie’s fighting the Russians by challenging them to a blimp race. However, my money is still riding on the Goodyear blimp.

As a friend of a Goodyear aerospace engineer I say **** Putin AND Obama

You gonna eat that cake?

[TexGrill]

Christie's already got Texas AG Greg Abbot's vote. Are you ready to vote for him too?

[JimmyMc]

I know he has to put himself out front, but to be so out front about it, he is in everyone elses’ behind?
That stinks!

Uh Oh. The “fix” is in. The same RINO bastards who brought us the catastrophes of McCain and Romney are out for a third strike.

Whoa.....Christie had weight-loss surgery back in February. I’m not seeing much of a result in that pic.

[Georgia Girl 2]

So much for the lap band surgery.
