Governor Christie needs to realize how important he is as an icon of change within the GOP. HE DID HIS JOB without PARTY FIRST. It is the way the USA works best. He may have broken the mold as well and I congratulate him. I don't live in New Jersey, but, I know many people there and he deserves to be re-elected. He needs to stand out as an important person in the GOP and I am confident he is able to convey that to all residents of New Jersey.
November 20, 20123:20 p.m.By James RaineyRepublicans (click here) seem to have no lack of understanding about how badly their presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, damaged the party brand by demonizing a good chunk of the electorate as “victims” and “gift” grabbers — the slothful masses who just can’t wait to take a government handout.
The party faithful might also want to reconsider their recent demonization of one of their previous favorites, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, if they hope to recapture the heart of America. And have a better shot in the next presidential election.
The New York Times’ Michael Barbaro reported Tuesday on how the immensely likable, plain-talking governor remainspersona non grata among GOP mainstays following the lost presidential election. His crime: suggesting that President Obama performed admirably in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy....
Politics is local in many instances. President Obama was going to win New Jersey with or without Superstorm Sandy. To believe Governor Christie would have a national reach is hideous. There are actually voters in the USA whom do not know Governor Christie. He is known among the Tea Party and some interests in the GOP, but, not the nation.
Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh are the worst thing that happened to the GOP, when they wake up to that reality they might actually have a party worth the attention of Americans.
Could it be the 'political control' of the nation is more a mirage than the one Murdoch and his piers can admit. The USA electorate has finely gotten the message, "Images created by ideologues is not the way to measure a leader."
Murdoch is scared of 'the truth.'
Governor Christie is different than many other Republican Governors. He never saw a benefit to assailing Voter ID. The current NJ Voter laws fall in with existing federal standards.
Pursuant (click here) to the federal "Help America Vote Act of 2002" (HAVA), if you registered to vote by mail in your county after January 1, 2003, and never voted in a federal election in the county, you were required to provide your county commissioner of registration with identification.
Governor Chris Christie also never saw the reason to lend brevity to Gerrymandering as other scared Republican governors have. He stands on his own as someone worthy of the vote and not the best manipulator of power that sincerely belongs to the people anyway.

Elbridge Gerry (click here) was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts, on July 17, 1744. He studied at Harvard to be a merchant, graduating in 1762. He was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature in 1773 and was selected to attend the Provincial Congress in 1774. He was then appointed to the Continental Congress, where he was engaged in committee work on commercial and naval concerns. He attended the Constitutional Convention in 1798 but was opposed to the new Federal Constitution, refusing to sign it....
