From the vantage point of my information universe, it's as if (to me) Christie gave his speech at the convention, and since that time I get a sense that he is NOT in any other way, particularly NOT in his own state, working very hard to help Romney, at least not very publicly.
I gather the national media enjoys making a GOP darling out of him, but, knowing he has to run for governor again in his own Dim-dominated state, he won't go out of his way to help Romney at the expense of some of the Democrat voters he will need next time??
Or, I am just uninformed?
You are uninformed. Inform yourself by doing an internet search (It's easy! It's fast!) and you will see news of Chris Christie doing some campaign support work for Mitt Romney as well as other GOP candidates.
In fact, this is one item that came up on a search:
Gov. Christie to campaign for Romney in Virginia today
Gov. Chris Christie caps a busy week on the campaign trail today with a rally in Virginia for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In Virginia, a Rasmussen poll released Friday shows Romney with 50 percent … NJ.com · ByJarrett Renshaw · 2 hours ago
P.S.: I heard yesterday that New Jersey is no longer a "lock" for Obama but instead is actually "in play".
Christie is getting some heat from the Dems. for being absent as the tax revenue and financial situation here in NJ worsens. Too much campigning out of state they say.
NJ won’t ever go for Romney but there are definitely pockets of resistance like in Hunterdon County where I live.
Too much democratic strength in Newark, Trenton and Camden. Without those three basket-case cities we’d be flush with money and conservative politically.
Big deal - Virginia is not New Jersey;
I still say he ia afraid of annoying his own state’s Dim majority too much, and campaigning out of state for congressional candidates is self-serving (and gets almost zero press and zero local press) and meant to just wrack up political debts he can cash in for himself when he gets tired of little ole New Jersey.
Keeping a low profile IN STATE regarding their own national ticket directly serves the Liberal dominant and Dim dominant political culture in their own state, a fact that is reflected in the congressional political imbalance - in favor of the Dims - that continues whether our governors in New York/NewJersey/Connecticut are GOP governors or not.
Like Pataki, Christine Todd Whitman and other Northeast GOP governors, it is always about them, personally, and they never did, and never will build-up their own party in their own state. Christie only just in the 11th hour here has done anything much for our own state GOP candidate for U.S. senator. What’s he been afraid of all these weeks? Maybe he’s been afraid of angering the NJ “Latino” vote by forcefully going after their blessed saint Senator Menendez.
