AEXACTLY! New Jersey is completely unimportant for Romney. If he wins NJ he already won must win Ohio as well as PA, MI, WI, CO, and probably 40 or more states for a historic blow out.
The important thing is a win, a blow out is not necessary, but would be great!
Ohio is as far as I can see already going to Romney
New Jersey is not
and if there was the slightest chance that New Jersey could (with help from ???) there would be some coat tails for some NJ GOP congressional candidates as well
If Christie cared about his own state as much as he cares about himself, he would be barnstorming up and down his own state for Romney, not Ohio, Virginia and Indiana.
Like all GOP Northeast governors in my adult experience, they never have and never will build up the GOP in their own state - they have conceded and will continue to concede our U.S. congressional delegations to the Democrats.
