Chris Christie, carrying Bridgegate baggage, arrives in Florida

[Baitball Blogger]

A weekend in Florida for a likely-presumed-unofficial presidential candidate to meet with big money donors and help other candidates raise cash is usually as routine as a trip to the supermarket. Not so for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who's spending Saturday and Sunday in Orlando, Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

The sojourn is Christie's first non-Jersey political swing since his political future was thrown into uncertainty 10 days ago by emails linking close aides to the closure of approach lanes to the George Washington Bridge. The resulting days of traffic jams were apparently designed to retaliate against a Democratic mayor who didn't support the Republican governor's re-election.

Bridgegate changed everything about the Florida trip

•Christie's visit is now a political headache for Florida's re-election seeking Gov. Rick Scott. He was supposed to reap publicity and financial benefits from the trip.

3. Is it Wrong that I'm Smiling Now?! :) From your link..

"Hoping to avoid protesters and television cameras — after national cable news channels have talked about the trip for days — Republicans have gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid letting people know just where Scott and Christie, who is the new head of the Republican Governors Association, are holding their fundraising events. Republican insiders, including people who've raised substantial sums for Scott or have served in party leadership spots, said exact details are being kept, in the words of one, "super secret."

Brawawawaa.. Christie stink on all of them. He run and he can hide.. but not for long.

"That's right — Christie's headed to multiple media markets in a perennial swing state with competitive races up and down the ballot and isn't holding any public events. That means one of two things: Chris Christie doesn't want to answer questions in the midst of a scandal or Rick Scott just doesn't want to be seen in public with Christie," the Democratic National Committee press secretary, Michael Czin, said in a statement."

Rofl.. I say "Both"!
