Chris Christie creeps up on Jeb Bush in New Hampshire
Source: Politico
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s rise in New Hampshire is finally starting to cut into some of his competitors, most conspicuously former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Christie, who’s enjoyed a modest surge in the state through relentless campaigning, got some further good news on Tuesday: A new Quinnipiac national poll showed him just ahead of Bush. (A CNN/ORC poll out Wednesday also showed Christie ahead of Bush, 5 percent to 3 percent.) The New Jersey governor is already polling ahead of his establishment rival in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, pipping Bush in the RealClearPolitics average of state polls, 6 percent to 4 percent.
Bush added to the tension on Tuesday when, during a campaign event in Berlin, in New Hampshire’s far north, he contrasted his record with Christie’s in the latest sign of their emerging rivalry. “I would say it’s the record of accomplishment — my record in Florida compared to his,” Bush said, going on to say that he's a “reform-minded conservative that got to do big things,” while Christie has “had credit downgrades. We led the nation in job growth. New Jersey hasn’t done as well.”

The stakes for Bush and Christie are clear: Both men have made succeeding in New Hampshire a do-or-die prospect, with no clear path forward if they don’t finish at or near the top. And both are vying for the same pool of voters: mainstream conservatives who aren’t comfortable with Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

Jed Here !
You know when Christie was down there at two percent I thought about sharing my butterfly collection with him in a up close and personal Jebbie style heckacool little get together. But I've changed my mind because there really isn't room enough in any room or town hall for me, my butterfly collection and Chris Christie. Fact is telling it like it is ,Christie takes up far too much room.
I mean heck if they were try to pack him away in a jail cell ,they would be out of luck because truth is he just don't fit.
And that's the point he don't.
How can anybody see him as a fitting candidate for the oval office ,I mean even in New Jersey he don't fit in ! Is it possible he don't know he don't fit ?
How can that be !
The Donald here !
You know for 13 years or so I have admired Christie's tenacity,all the while knowing the blunt truth is he just don't fit in anywhere ,I mean not really. Now I know this is a terrible thing to say ,and I really hate to say it but since it has been said by a 3 per center , I second the loser who's campaign is total disaster on this one.
But folks in the greater interest of the entertainment values I must say,
Even in the state of Trump that is considered rude.
Stay tuned folks great entertainment ahead.
