LINCOLN — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped by Lincoln on Saturday to take in some of the football game and to stump for fellow Republican Pete Ricketts.
Christie, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, said he is not worried about the Nebraska governorship going Democratic. But he said he doesn’t take anything for granted.
“I’m here because I want people to focus on this race in these last 11 days,” before the election, he said. “I want the people of Nebraska to not take anything for granted and to know that their vote matters. We want Pete to have a big, comfortable victory on Nov. 4.”
Christie credited his confidence, in part, to advertisements the GOP governors group sponsored this fall in Nebraska.

I would get out of town to support a next-to-last-place football team and a member of my political party who's up an average of 13 points the polls, too!
