IMO, Christie won because the DEMODUMMIES wanted him to win. They will pit him agains’t their pick (Hitlary) knowing that Hitlary can/will beat him. ANother “rigged” election?
Note that there was little fraud in the New Jersey vote unlike that in Virginia. Now WHY would that be? The demodummies are now being suspected of major voter fraud, poll intimidation and other irrgularities and it may come to a vote challenge in court to determine if this was an illegal election. (I hope it proves to be true).
The GOP hid away from supporting a Repub candidate (supported by the Tea Party) and missed the greatest opportunity to put a stake through the heart of odumbocare. Certainly they could not support a candidate the Tea Party also supported. (sarc) I blame one of the major reasons on the loss in Virginia for the lack of GOP support. (Bastards all of them).
That is not the main reason. I agree that probably inflated his votes 2 to 3%. Because why did he win his FIRST term in a predominantly blue state? I am sure democRATS were not pushing him to run for president at the time of his first election for governor.
