It was the GOP moneyed elites that tried to persuade Christie to run.

I don't see it. Northeasterners wanted somebody from their part of the country in the race.

I guess it's easier to typecast or stereotype people from the New York area as moneyed Wall Streeters, but Christie isn't really that kind of person, and I doubt plutocrats were any more in his corner than in any other candidates.

P.S. Good post, notary.

The moneyed elites were from California. Mark Levin and Rush both talked about it. This was no regional pride issue but an attempt to manipulate the campaign.
