What business is it of his what happens in the US senate? He holds a state office.

NJ is directly affected by Nat'l security since its close neighbor, NYC, is a large target of terrorists.

Makes sense that Christie would speak out against any attempt to lower NSA standards.

You mean it’d makes sense to a big government RINO.

“NJ is directly affected by Nat’l security since its close neighbor, NYC, is a large target of terrorists.”

Probably 1/3 to 1/4 of the victims in the NYC attack were from NJ; a lot of people in northern NJ work in NYC. I’m not defending Christie’s comments, just clarifying why NYC is an issue for NJ.

I don’t believe for a moment that Christie has any national aspirations; he looks like every caricature of a Republican for the past 100 years (fat white guy in a suit). Also, I can’t believe the Repub leadership actually thinks any Dems will cross the aisle to vote for him; they do that in NJ to save their homes from the tax-man (and that is only home-owning Dems) while they rage against his policies that have shrunk municipal payrolls.
