Have been largely silent on Christie because he will be the campaign season gift that keeps on giving to Democrats, with the biggest gift being a complete and final split in the republican party.
It is without question that Christie is toxic to beck and the tea-party, who are beyond disgusted with Christie
I mean he actually hugged President Obama while accepting Federal aid and dollars.
If he were to run for President, the beck/tea-party/lunatic wing of the republican party might just break off, splitting the republican vote for the next few election cycles.
And thats not to mention all the stuff about Christie that is already in the public record
he might look like a viable candidate; but we seem to be giving him far more credit than he deserves.
