Is the RGA (meaning Christie) shortchanging Walker?

Here's Stephen Hayes on his suspicions that Walker is getting shortchanged by the RGA, as they put more $ into Michigan (granted, Wisconsin is closer, but Michigan is a more expensive state to run in):

Walker tries to smooth things over:

All I'm trying to do is take credit for calling? Is that so wrong? I never meant to revive an annoying, useless Christie vs Walker poll. I guess this good prediction is negated by my not realizing everyone would just ignore this story and keep sharing their irrelevant preference for one or the other.

Probably Walker, though I still believe (maybe foolishly) that Huntsman could make a run at it. I really doubt Bush will run.

fwiw, Huntsman is essentially saying he suspects Christie knew and is now lying.

I'd guess Bush is more likely to run than not right now. I assume Christie's strength was one of the major deterrents to Bush pre-Bridgegate.  Won't be surprised if he starts courting donors keeping a nervous eye on Christie's scandals.

Walker losing re-election would be good news for Christie, the head of the RGA. Keep an eye out for  subtle ways Christie tries to undercut Walker.

Christie seems to be burning his bridges, one lane at a time.

This story shows both how untrusted Christie is within the GOP and how his image has been so tarnished that it is plausible that he would actually use the power of the RGA to damage one of his fellow governors for his personal gain. Think of it this way, if Jindal were in charge and the same numbers were coming up, would this story be out there? I doubt it.

The GOP are set to make major gains in the Senate and possible take over, and yet it is quite possible they will have a net loss in governorships. That might hurt Christie with elites and the donor class.
