Maybe they should get a room.
Why?
Woo hoo!! Christie-Paul the Laurel and Hardy ticket.
OK, inviting him to be there when Sen. Paul visits his state ... understandable, common courtesy, etc. But if this is any more than that, then we got us a deal-breaker.
So are we being played by Rand?
A wimp and a blimp.
Maybe Rand figures he had better make friends with the guy or else Christie will eat him.
What is lost here on everyone that back when we had a choice in the Republican primary for Governor... Lonegan and Christie were the candidates. Lonegan got my vote then... for the same reasons Rand would get mine if the 2016 presidential primary were on October 16.
Christine has “invited” Paul, undoubtedly, to be the sort of support that Christie can’t give to the Lonegan campaign... as Steve Lonegan has always had a more grassroots, Tea Party, sort of platform... which Rand Paul is certain more connected to than Governor Christie could ever be.
Paul would be good to support Lonegan... and rally the base of what remains of the GOP electorate in the state.
Rural NJ is still red... for now... but there are an awful lot of entitlement class votes in the urban areas. Then there are the Coexist sticker on their Prius crowd voting too.
I would like to hope that Lonegan actually has a chance here... I mean it would be a double whammy to the RATS to lose Lautenberg’s old seat to a Tea Party Favorite...
It’s the direction the GOP needs to go... away from the Arlen Specter on acid types like John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
