He is trustworthy; he speaks plainly; he keeps his word; he is credible; he shows up; he walks the talk; he is a good administrator; he builds coalitions; he does not cover up his mistakes; he is unafraid; he has the back of New Jersey; he projects confidence; he can speak on his feet; he eschews teleprompters; he does his homework; he has the mojo; he is imperfect; he knows it. 

His detractors hold a weak position.

In brief, he earned a second term as New Jersey Governor.

Simple as that.

Thanks for reading.  Enjoy the coming week.

Christie for Guv’

When a true-blue state like New Jersey gives its GOP governor Chris Christie a 67% favorability rating, it should come as no surprise that he recently decided to announce his bid for re-election to a second term.
 
Indeed, it is wholly consistent with Christie’s prior statements about his desire to remain here in The Garden State, and to see through as many of his priorities and goals as he can possibly implement. 
 
Earlier this year, despite all of the media attention about the possibility of his angling for the VP spot on the national presidential GOP ticket, Christie steadily refuted all claims to that effect
 
He was completely adamant and sincere about his statements that he is a Jersey Boy, that he loved his job and his state, and that he wanted to stay on the job right here.  I liked that attitude and still do.
