The Democratic challenger running against Chris Christie says she isnt making the Republicans weight a campaign issue, yet released a letter from her doctor on Tuesday revealing that she only weighs 125 pounds.
She has never smoked cigarettes, Dr. Jeffery L. Carson wrote of state Sen. Barbara Buono. Her diet is excellent. Senator Buono runs regularly and is physically fit.
Carsons letter, dated Tuesday, was published on the website PolitickerNJ.com. He said she weights 124.6 pounds.
Both Christie and Buono said during a debate last week that they would release medical records.
In summary, Senator Buono is in excellent health and has no significant medical problems, Carson wrote. She is physically able to serve as governor of the state of New Jersey.
Christie has acknowledged that hes heavier than hed like. He had lap band weight loss surgery earlier this year.
MSNBCs Chris Matthews asked Buono in April if she would run make Christies weight a campaign issue. Does that work in Jersey? he asked. Taking on the guys weight?
Im going to run a campaign on issues, she responded.
But last month, Buono appeared to use the weight-card against the New Jersey governor when she said, Now I dont know about you, but seeing Chris Christie frolicking on the beach is not going to drive me to go the shore.

Same as Wendy in Texas. Democrats should run on this.

Edit: I just looked at the photo.

This post is very misleading. Unless you did not watch or listen to the first debate. Both candidates were asked if they can release their health Recor. Stop spinning the facts.
I do not believe what you are claiming.
Also my advice to Buono, please do not make Chris Christie's weight a campaign issue, because many voters are overweight, and may find this approach offensive.
The weight approach worked against former Governor of New Jersey. Stick to issues. This post is not fair and balanced. Spinning talking points.
Both candidtes were asked to release the medical reports, and Christie hi,sef said he had no problem with it. So why crocdiles tears on Buono 's release? Grow up guys. This is not a game.
Tell New jersey why the governor endorsed Lonegan, and why he created 2 elections 20 days apart costing tax payers $20 million.
We could have had both election on same day to save tax payers from paying for elctions that are self serving. Thank you.
