Christie’s short coattails will sure raise eyebrows. He won by 20 points but Democrats retained control in the legislature - holding all their seats in the Senate, and maybe losing 2 seats in the Assembly.

That’s a critical issue if Christie wants to position himself nationally. It speaks to New Jerseyans’ view of Christie as a leader, but find the positions taken by the rest of the party as major suckage.

I think what it is they genuinely like him as a person and are willing to overlook his positions. At the same time, I think many of them see him as a good governor but don’t think he’d make a great president. I mean the guy’s at his ultimate political zenith in NJ and he still would lose to Clinton in an election there. I dunno. I’m not from New Jersey so I don’t understand New Jersey political dynamics.
