Christie makes no mention of GWB scandal in Florida speech to Republican donors
Source: Bergen Record
ORLANDO -- Governor Christie gave a 23-minute speech to wealthy Republican donors in Orlando today and made no mention of the bridge scandal enveloping his administration in New Jersey.
Christie, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, is touring Florida this weekend to campaign for Rick Scott, the governor here who is fighting a tough reelection campaign. Christie spoke to a few hundred people at the Country Club of Orlando, where he was greeted with polite but unenthusiastic applause.
The governor spoke hours after the mayor of Hoboken went on a cable news network and said the lieutenant governor tied the city’s application for superstorm Sandy aid to a development project.
Christie did not mention the George Washington Bridge lane closures or the new accusations. Christie praised Scott and presented a $2.5 million check from the RGA to Scott’s re-election committee, Let’s Get to Work. He said it was the association’s “first commitment” and “initial foray” into the Florida race, which is expected to set spending records in the state.

If you were fighting a tough reelection campaign, would you want this guy campaigning for you?
= new reply since forum marked as read
I might be wrong but I think Christie is done for and very shortly the republicans
will be trying to distance themselves from his stank. Not only tying up the GWB
but now it looks like Christie and company were using federal relief $s for political
purposes and to reward his rich friends.
