To what extent can each candidate be tied back to a relationship (fairly or not) with the presumably-ousted Senator?

Who does Christie pick to fill the seat in the interim? Would it be someone who might have a shot at winning in 2016? Or someone like Webber (who could score Christie points with conservatives for the 2016 primaries). Or someone like Chiesa who wouldn't run at all?

One thing is certain... it won't be boring.
