Remember around this time last year when everyone thought Christie could carry NJ?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

As long as Christie was governing NJ, he was okay, although the G.O.P won the election, they saw for themselves how partisan he was, and going into new year, the buyers remorse will be no Christie nomination, Jeb  will be the standard GOP bearer v Clinton Dem standard bearer.

[Maxwell]

Duh. Christie will lose New Jersey by just as much as anyone else.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Remember around this time last year when everyone thought Christie could carry NJ?

I never thought he would carry New Jersey against her, but then again, I'm just a "typical Hillary hack/shill/whatever epithet the kooks try to lay upon anyone who dares to support the neoconservative warmongering corporatist calculating racist bitch."

[Maistre]

BUT HE'S A MODERATE BLUE STATE GOVERNOR!

WE CAN'T LOSE!

[Rockefeller GOP]

Remember around this time last year when everyone thought Christie could carry NJ?

No, not really...

[Phony Moderate]

Chris Christie's papa never told him about right and wrong.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I really hope the nominee is Christie, Hilary does best against him, while Jeb and Huck split the southern vote.

[RFayette]

Why must we have polls of NJ?  We all know Clinton will win it.

I just wish we had those 50-state polls like SUSA did in the past.

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

Christie carrying New Jersey is like Romney carrying Massachusetts in 2012.

[JRP1994]

Christie carrying New Jersey is like Romney carrying Massachusetts in 2012.

Not quite that unbelievable. I'd say Christie carrying New Jersey would be like John Edwards being the nominee and carrying North Carolina against Bush in 2004.

[Nichlemn]

A year or two ago, I honestly believed that NJ would be a swing state if Christie was the nominee, figuring it was only about D+5 (with a Sandy effect in 2012) and a 5 point "favourite son" bonus would be reasonable. Looks like I was wrong (although in fairness, Christie's hardly closer in national polls either - perhaps it would get closer if and/or when the national gap gets closer).
