Washington -- Some NAACP delegates (click here) were furious that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was invited to speak at the state conference's annual membership event on Saturday, saying Christie's appearance was merely for show, The Star-Ledger reports.

When a person has an appreciation for the law and well as the people who live under it, it shows. Can the New Jersey Governor relay the confidence the Union Leader showed to the rest of the Republican constituency? Christ Christi is a very bright man. It is a real race to the finish now.
