I really do wonder after Pres Obama coming to NJ to work with Gov. Christie after the damage Hurricane Sandy has caused. Praising Obama for his recovery efforts, hugging Bruce Springsteen after the TV Concert for Sandy victims did Christie really voted for Obama instead of Mittens. I know in public Christie said he will vote for Mitt but in private he probably voted for President Obama. Just a thought or big wish!

(674 posts)Mitt didn't lift a finger to help, and he could have done a lot if he wanted to.
Gov Christie has been shown the light.
Even if Mitt had came to Jersey to "comfort" victims of Sandy he was totally useless for him. I think what probably sealed the deal if Christie voted for Obama was Mitt trying to drag him from doing his job of coordinating help to the victims to come to unimportant rally in Pennsylvania.

I really think he sees the light about bipartisanship, and that it IS possible to work with Obama. Too bad that it took a storm tearing up most of his state for him to learn that lesson.

(54,087 posts)He's a real Republican. He just happens to be one who puts his country first. I do think he's pretty frustrated with the Tea elements in the party, and that would explain his apparent joy in going full buddies with Obama to the consternation of the wingnuts.

(25,999 posts)I believe he's staking out turf, trying to come across as a 'sane' repug. Might work, as I imagine repug power brokers don't see a future in teabaggery.
