and was famous for coining the "Vote for Cuomo not the homo" smear he did on Ed Koch.when the two titans ran for governor of NY.
He is no friend of liberals, no friend of Gays, no friend of the Kennedy's either (not after what he did to his ex-wife).

but aside from that, Cuomo took alot longer to implement the odd/even gas which worked the day it started

I am most certainly not a Christie fan, but he did what was needed, and even Bruce Springsteen gave him a hug in thanks, the first contact between the two

And being visible is what residents want to see, even if it doesn't help. Being front and center on camera is part of the job.
(Something Obama, Christie, Bloomberg did very well.)

I don't see how in the world Christie would get the nomination for the repubs, also I don't think his health would permit a stressful run, but stranger things have happened.

Nothing false in this article (though Christie is not a friend of democrats and liberals) graham4anything Nov 2012 #1
