Breitbart.com has one whopper of a theory as to why the New Jersey governor has praised Obama so effusively
BY ALEX PAREENE
As youve probably seen, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a prominent Republican and Romney endorser has recently repeatedly praised President Barack Obama for his and the federal governments response to Hurricane Sandy. Christie has likely done this because
he is grateful and the federal government has been helpful, but the political press needs stuff to write about, so people have written about it as a political act.
Most conservatives are just sort of ignoring this development, as liberals gleefully publicize pictures of the men joining together to inspect the damage along the Jersey Shore and compliment each other for the cameras. But some are weighing in. Here are the conservative explanations for Chris Christies recent effusive praise of Barack Obama: The Daily Callers Matt Lewis says the force of Christies praise is suspect: The issue here is about the degree to which he is going out of his way to help Obama politically and the context of the timing. He thinks this indicates a personal schism between Christie and Romney.
But my favorite explanation comes from genius political analyst Joel Pollack at Big Government, one of the increasingly easily ignorable stable of dumb blogs and lie-generation machines founded by the late Andrew Breitbart.
Here is Pollacks theory: Christie is praising Obama because Mitt Romney is so far ahead that it doesnt matter.
But the truth about Christies outreach to Obama is blindingly obvious: Mitt Romney is now running away with this election, freeing Christie to praise the president without fear that doing so will tip the scales.
