New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declined an invitation to attend a major gathering of social conservatives this week in Washington, opting instead to make a high-profile appearance at a forum organized by former President Bill Clinton in Chicago.
Christie's decision was hardly a bombshell: Up for re-election in November in a Democratic-leaning state, the governor can hardly afford to be seen courting Christian conservatives and sharing a stage with divisive figures like Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.
But his absence was a sore point for many conservative activists who traveled to the Faith and Freedom Coalition's "Road to Majority" conference to see a bumper crop of GOP stars, including would-be presidential candidates like Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
But there is harder evidence that Christie has problems with Republicans outside of New Jersey. A Gallup poll released earlier this month pegged Christie's approval rating among national Republicans at just 58 percent, and almost a quarter of Republicans view him unfavorably.

Christie’s future as a Republican nominee are dead.
I do hope he runs as an independent. He might steal enough votes from Hillary where the real Republican (Rubio/Walker or Ryan) will win NJ.
Run fatty run!
The bridge has burned. Fat boy can join the ‘Rat party.
The only repair he can do is to join the democrap party!
I will be never trust him.
<< Christie has repair work to do with conservatives >>
At this point? Not possible. The only “repair work” this guy can do is to find a good body shop and just park his big a$$ there until Hades freezes over.
I don’t live in New Jersey so I can’t really judge, but I’m curious.... what policies has Christie put in place, or laws he has pushed through that qualify him as “full on liberal”?
