IF Christie had been the nominee... post Sandy....

What do you think we would have been seeing?

Both he and President Obama would have needed to work together as they did in this reality. Do you think that is what really would have happened or would the partisanship between two people fighting for the same job have been to much?

Might it even have made Christie appear as if he were President Obama's equal, at least in the disaster relief arena?

I have been mulling this over for a few days now and am curious what others here might think about this strange scenario.

He isn't. So what is the point of mulling over something that isn't true? LisaL Nov 2012 #1

State. and also i really think Christie was affected, this is his home, where he grew up. i think he is more like McCain than Romney or Bush.
