I think there is a poll that shows this scandal has tarnished Governor Christie's image when asked about elect-ability in a race with Hillary Clinton. That is not conclusive either. After Bill Clinton's exposure to a scandal with Jennifer Flowers while he was running for the party's nominee he went on to win the presidency. There is no fixed circumstance that is conclusive to any political ambition when that person is a presidential candidate. There is too much political clout at that point in a career. The people become invested in what they know about a potential candidate as a person capable to be President of the USA. Everything in regard to Christie's political future is still inconclusive.
