I'm beginning to think Dems outside of NJ are all about Christie

[MADem]

1. I think people don't know enough about him--when they learn more about him, that

"straight-shooting, tough-talking, regular guy" persona might fade away. His "charm" (and I use the word advisedly) comes from his 'guy next door' attitude that he projects when he's talking to Oprah and other interviewers.

He can get pissy and mean though--if people see a bit more of that, they might not be so charmed.

Those of you who live in NJ see the guy every day--to the rest of America, though, he's a "character" who is a Republican but one who didn't act snotty to Obama, and he likes Springsteen (which is apparently VERY important to some people, for reasons that escape me--I mean, I like BBKing, but I don't base my electoral decisions on whether or not the candidates I support like him as well)!
