Namely, Chris Christie. That fabulous pat-on-the-back attitude toward President Obama during Sandy's hit was about the smartest thing a Republican governor with an imperfect record could do politically. Now he's reaping the rewards of that canny posturing.
A new Quinnipiac poll in New Jersey finds Gov. Chris Christie (R) with a record breaking approval rating of 74% and a stunning 37 point lead over likely Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barbara Buono (D), 62% to 25%.
