Governor Chris Christie’s official endorsement of GOP candidate Mitt Romney evokes the image of a precocious schoolboy responding to the newly enacted anti-bullying legislation in NJ:

Standing up for one of his shier classmates with a grandiose display of support, the student defends the other for those aspects of…

Governor Chris Christie recently announced [again] that he will not bow to the wishes of the Republicans clamoring for him to get into the race for the Republican nomination for 2012. He has said before he won’t run, so it’s not exactly news, however he had given some indications of…

In the 6/22/11 submission of this space, “The Courtship Of Chris Christie,” I referred to several members of the New Jersey governor’s staff emphatically repeating the same thing: Under no circumstances would Christie be running for President of the United States next year.

This month’s Quinnipiac poll asked New Jersey to choose: is Gov. Chris Christie a ‘bully’ or a ‘leader’? As if the two are mutually exclusive! Teddy Roosevelt was both a bully and a leader. (The guy was probably even shouting, “Bully!” whilst leading people.) For anyone who’s been following state…
