Let's you and him fight! That was John Heilemann on today's With All Due Respect, trying to lure Chris Christie into a fight with Republican voters. Heilemann's first foray was to invite Christie to "name an issue where you are out of step with the conservative base of the Republican party." When Christie wouldn't bite, Heilemann tried again, asking Christie to name "an issue where you feel like the conservative base is wrong."
Christie called out Heilemann's ploy, saying "you're kind of looking for some Sistah Souljah moment" which Christie described as "manufactured and political." Even those who are not Christie fans might applaud him for not falling into Heilemann's trap.

I know that many FReepers are, to put it mildly, not fans of Chris Christie.
Even so, it’s fun to watch the way he refuses to fall into Heilemann’s trap.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
If he were really on our side (including our fine County's side) it would have appear long before now.
Proofreading?
Priceless!
Christie is a master of circumstance and language. He’d be a good press secretary.
I think that Chris Christie is as consistently conservative as an elected official from Ne Jersey could possibly be.
He is actually an asset to the party because he might be able to drag New Jersey from blue to purple
I still would not want him as president though he is better than Romney
It is also important for anyone looking at Mister Christie, how does his 2A record look? (It is not stellar).
And, can a conservative really be a Springsteen groupie (and be swayed by a call from the "Boss" from AF-1?)
I suspect that you are entirely correct in that he is as conservative as an elected from NJ could be; and, that he could 'drag' the state red, if he wanted to.
"IF" being the operative word.
