The RNC Wants Partial Credit for Chris Christie's Re-Election
Atlantic Wire ^ | 11/5/13 | ABBY OHLHEISER

Shortly after the polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, the AP and other media outlets easily called the New Jersey governor's race for Republican incumbent Chris Christie, based on exit polls. He defeated Sen. Barbara Buono, a Democrat, by taking a third of the Democratic votes in the state, and two-thirds of independents. The win for the GOP in New Jersey will likely be in contrast to the expected results of a handful of other big races this Tuesday, including the New York City Mayor's race, and the Virginia governor's race.

That could be, in part, why the national RNC quickly made sure to mention its support for Christie's campaign in a congratulatory statement from chairman Reince Priebus:

In this race Governor Christie earned significant support among minority voters. That’s a testament to the success of his results-oriented leadership and an inclusive campaign. During this race, the RNC worked alongside the Christie campaign to engage early and often with Hispanic, African American and Asian voters.

RNC Statement on Gov. Christie’s Re-Election Victory

Posted November 5, 2013

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on Governor Christie’s re-election:

“Congratulations to Governor Christie on his impressive re-election victory tonight,” said Chairman Priebus. “During his first term, the governor proved that Republican principles get results—even in a state the pundits like to call a ‘blue state.’ He brought fiscal responsibility to Trenton, and he brought tax relief to families. He put students before special interests, and in everything he stayed true to his word.

“In this race Governor Christie earned significant support among minority voters. That’s a testament to the success of his results-oriented leadership and an inclusive campaign. During this race, the RNC worked alongside the Christie campaign to engage early and often with Hispanic, African American and Asian voters.

“Governor Christie ran an excellent race, but more importantly, he’s been a successful governor. New Jersey residents know he’s a man they can trust, and I’m confident he will continue to deliver results for the Garden State in his second term.”

When the RNC calls for money, tell them no, that if Christy is the kind of candidate that they support as opposed to Cuccinelli, you will send your donations directly to specific candidates.

“Hey look at us, at least we didn’t screw that up!”

I place much much less importance on Christy’s win as far as being a masterfully-executed whatever. He has a certain Jerseyish personal appeal that IMO was going to overcome the NJ-Blue tendency.

They gave no help in Virginia, they deserve only disdain.
Oh, and if one FRer says “we must support Christie for the GOP nomination, because he is the only guy who will win by beating Hilliary”.....my Sicilian heritage will come to the surface.

(That’s why we had McCain and Romney)

So. The RNC wants some credit for helping to re-elect a loudmouthed, fat-assed blowhard who damned near French Kissed Obama during the Sandy Aftermath and helped him get re-elected. Just effing ducky....

Way to go RNC.....

For me, they get partial credit for Christie’s re-election. They also get partial credit for Cucinelli’s defeat. Both are negatives in my mind.

NJ votes in the exit polls said that if it’s Hillary against Christie in 2016, they’ll vote for Hillary. So again, the GOP will foist a “moderate” loser on the party who can’t even win his own state. Still, they expect conservatives to vote for Rove’s choice. Been there, done that, and won’t do it again.

Exactly correct.

RNC did NOTHING to help Cucinelli ..

The DNC did nothing to defeat Christie.

Been doing that for years, but thanks for the reminder. When they send mountains of donation requests to me, I'll remind them why I haven't been a RNC member for well over a decade...

And they can have it, but they also have to take three times the credit for Cucinelli's loss.

Yeah, no thanks. He won because he’s become a Democrat.
