My inclination is to say, "BINGO"!!
The case of the neighboring mayor who didn't endorse, and the other mayor who received "threats" of with-holding Sandy rebuilding money didn't pan out (and were discredited, actually)...so, time for "plan C"!
Whatever you think of Christie, he has been a successful GOP leader in New Jersey. That's dangerous for the Dem's and they will keep biting his ankles 'til the cows come home. It distracts the electorate from more important issues...
I concur.
