Yeah the Governor got the support he needed to help his State.
He then came to Hoboken and hugged a Democrat Mayor.
Let me tell you, people working to help millions will trump any other political agenda. And no, you can’t dislike the Manchurian Candidate more than I do but politics shouldn’t be a gateway to working through a major catastrophe.
You folks are making it out like working through that saved Obama. It didn’t.
...Sandy was just an Obama photo-opt—he didn't do anything except exploit it for political gain—and wreck the political future of the Jersey Gov...thought Christie was more savvy than that.
You make an excellent point with “well publicized optic” but that was the lamestream media’s doing. They did nothing with the massive suffering on States Island and in Queens. No bad optics for Obama there.
Zero.
So I think you confuse the Governor trying to help the people of his state with what the media did. We agree what they did helped Obama even as they ignored the suffering elsewhere.
We all know that. I differ with you about Gov. Christie 100%.
