Christie's embrace of Obama gave Obama a bounce that played out in the same way as his post-convention bounce.

Romney was up by 3-4 before Sandy. A couple of days after Christie campaigned with Obama, Obama was up by a couple of points. A day before the election, the effect was beginning to taper off, as Obama's lead shrunk to a point. Given a few more days, Romney would have been back in the lead.

But time ran out.

Exit polls showed that 40% of voters ranked Obama's "performance" during Sandy to be "highly important" in their voting decision. Why? Because they're stupid. But that's the reality we have to work with.

Christie could have denied the photo op to Obama, like Bloomberg did. Not only did he give Obama a photo-op, he gave him a big wet kiss, letting Zero strut around in his presidentin' jacket.

Christie's dead to me now.
