instructed Christie how to handle the disaster for R's political gain - showing zero compassion for the people of NJ.

Christie was visibly agitated when asked whether he would be touring or campaigning with Romney in NJ. I think they talked to him about using the storm relief effort to help Romney and it really pissed him off.

If he had seen it more convenient to put the blade in Obama's back, instead, I think he would have done so.

But maybe, like he said, I don't know him.

Christie is aiming at 2016 and revealed himself to be a formidable politician. He really is masterful.

The footage of him declaiming his loyalty to the people and to NJ was him shooting his 2016 ads for TV.

Tells me Christie told him NOT to come.


Either that or Romney was just really desperate to keep campaigning.

Or something like they do in those movies with the moody teenage vampires.

Christie knows that Mittens is toast, he wants to ride Sandy to re-election, then make his own bid for the nomination in 2016.
