The Branstad/Reynolds team this morning announced that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will headline a fundraising event for them in Des Moines on Oct. 4.
Christie, elected in 2009 and sworn into office last January, has quickly risen as a national leader within the Republican Party.
“I’m excited to welcome Governor Christie to Iowa,” said former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. “He has been a pioneering leader in New Jersey with regard to cleaning up the state’s budget and again putting his state on the right track. I’m happy to have his support and am looking forward to a great event.”

Interesting. I like him, I dont like his social views however.
I did find his position on the GZM annoying and his endorsement of Mike Castle strange.
He’s going to Iowa? What’s he gonna do? Eat it?
Chris Christie told Don Imus, in no uncertain terms, that he is not interested in running for the Republican presidential nomination, despite the fact that he’s losing weight.
He loves being your governor.
There are many overweight people in here that pay annually dues for many to enjoy this website. I hope your comment wasn’t meant to insult overweight persons.
I agree he does have POTUS material....but he needs to take care of his state first. The lib-turd media locally will pounce and declare he is more interested in the National scene as opposed to looking after Jersey.
If he ran for POTUS......this Florida Boy would vote for him in a sec. I love his video’s he can think on his feet, he tells it like it is.....and he is a likeable guy.
Gov. Christie weighs something like, what? More than 500 pounds?
I’d say that qualifies him as a state eater.
If I had meant to insult people who are overweight, you wouldn’t have had to write to ask the question.
I regret you took offense.
I really miss watching the Cheney debates.
Chris Christie is fat, but you're a jackass. The difference is, he can always diet.
Tsk. Tsk. All that political know how and no manners.
Are you talking about my comment or yours?
Yours, of course.
Huh. I didn't realize making a crack at an overweight person "eating a state" was the epitome of good manners and class.
He’s also backing Anna Little (she’s a tea party endorsed candidate running for obamacare Pallone’s seat).
You sure a touchy about this.
