I agree he's a terrible governor.
Unfortunately in our two-party system, the politicians who 'cross over' get a big advantage and are often some of the worst.
Think about it - the only time Democrats have been elected president since the FDR-LBJ period are in response to Republican disasters - Watergate for Carter, and recessions for Clinton and Obama. They don't get elected for being 'good Demcocrats'.
Instead, they get elected for being 'moderate' Democrats - deregulate those banks! Cut that social spending!
Christie is a good example of the problem - he is a terrible governor with terrible policies.
What are his policies? Straight right-wing garbage bad for his state, with a very few bones to look 'bi-partisan' when it helps him.
What is his governing ability? Be a jerk, get press for it. Ha ha, did you see that thing Christie said, hard to believe a governor said it.
He's a pure political whore, as demonstrated by his hypocritically calling the special election for US Senator 20 days before his own ballot, to try to give himself a little help - after saying previously he would not do that.
But that's the formula for success, as shoiwn by disgusting New Jersey 'Democrats' who vote for him.
