A big win in a big blue state — there are few things that make sweeter music for the fractured Republican Party these days.

But many political observers say there is even more to what happened tonight than that. Last year, Chris Christie was elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association and he officially takes over that post in Arizona in 15 days. It’s a position with a high national profile, money to spread around and a bully pulpit.

So, in way, Christie’s power just doubled.

Friends of Christie and people who have watched him in action the past year say that from now on Super Gov. will be urging his party to do what he says, and do as he does: Win.

He will also have a lofty place from which to wage a run for the White House....

That’s right. Any “Republican” candidate the media HYPES is in the tank for the left. Hillary vs. Christie? What difference does it make?

I don't share others' visceral hatred for Christie, but he could not possibly be weaker on the Second Amendment.

He is just not Presidential material.

He would be a better Speaker than Boehner, though.

He makes up for that in his support for Islam, so there’s that....

Ted was the North American (not just US) debate champion for several years. I’d hate to go up against him in any venue. Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”

So, now we know who the “rulers, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” have chosen to lose to Hillary.

GOD have mercy on us.

Should we last that long, and I have my questions on that, it will be GOPe Christie vs. Benghazi Hillary.

Sorry, but in his desired march to the GOP Nomination, Christie is going to walk head-long into a rock-solid wall called Ted Cruz.

And less of a prick, too.

He is up to the task of being the GOP nominee for President, at least on par with those other media darlings: Mitt Romney, John McCain and Bob Dole.
