Wonder how many people he had to pay to show up, a la Trump.
Poor thing. He's so, so delusional.

on edit, from the Bergen Record:
The crowd featured familiar faces of Christies circle. Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick, a staunch Christie ally who is considered a possible successor, was among the first wave of people to arrive. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, also a possible gubernatorial candidate in 2017, was also there, as was Christies former chief of staff, Kevin ODowd, and his wife, outgoing health commissioner Mary ODowd. But there were also people of all ages children with their parents, recent high school graduates and local officials, including Bergen County Freeholder John Felice and the countys GOP chairman, Bob Yudin.
More than a thousand demonstrators - mostly dressed in red and carrying banners and signs - congregated on the front lawn outside Livingston High School Tuesday morning to protest Governor Christie announcing his presidential bid. Most of the crowd was made up of public school teachers and other union members, but environmentalists, historic preservationists and Sandy victims also were present to voice their concerns.
