While there’s newfound buzz around Chris Christie, he has very little money (just $1.4 million in the bank as of September 30), and he expanded Medicaid and hugged Barack Obama in 2012.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, President Obama gave Chris Christie his personal phone number written on a small piece of paper, the New Jersey governor told a town hall Monday night.
“The contrast advertising, particularly between Christie, Cruz, Bush and Rubio, has begun and that is likely to continue for the next several weeks” before the February 9 Granite State primary, said Griffin, who is not currently affiliated with a campaign and now works as a corporate media strategist in Boston.
“Show time is over”.
“We’re going to be ready to compete around the country”, Christie said.
“In the absence of American leadership, the United States should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out ISIS with overwhelming force”, Bush says. Translation? Donald Trump. Rubio said you can’t defeat ISIS with a filibuster, that’s a clear swipe at Ted Cruz.
“This is not my first rodeo”, Christie said.
In Concord, he had some advice for a fifth grader about the importance of studying hard.
“We have isolationist candidates who are apparently more passionate about weakening our military and intelligence capabilities than they are about destroying our enemies”, said Rubio.
The ads are a “significant part of an ongoing multi-million dollar buy in New Hampshire”, according to a spokesperson for the super PAC.
The former secretary of state says the killings, which included the execution of a prominent Shiite Muslim cleric, “will inflame the region even more”.
“Let’s take this righteous anger and frustration, and make it productive for our party and for our nation”.
“Now, we need a candidate who can unite our party and finish the job they want us to do in the White House”.
After the former Florida governor criticized Christie, who Bush still called a “friend”, the New Jersey governor drew on his blunt style to knock him Tuesday as being “fake”.
Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio during a campaign stop Sunday in Atkinson, N.H. They highlight, among other things, New Jersey’s budget deficit. “Rubio’s ability to express the message of conservatism in a hopeful, aspirational, persuasive way”, Gowdy said on Fox News at the end of last month as he explained why he backed Rubio.
“I…have been a great admirer of Sen”.
“If you care about national security, if you care about having a president who faithfully executes the law, if you like the idea of a constitutional convention, if you like a candidate who expresses himself in persuasive, aspirational tones, then I think you ought to at least look at Marco”. “It means I’m in the game”.
“I don’t think we will see a full coalescing before the primary”, says Mike Dennehy, a veteran GOP strategist in the state who worked for Rick Perry.
“There’s something wrong in this country when a totally inexperienced politician can lead the pack at this stage”, Porter said.
Christie also said “I stand by my record as governor of New Jersey – it’s a good one”, describing gains in private sector job growth and declines in unemployment.
But Christie also split the difference between Trump, the loud-mouthed outsider, and Rubio, a sitting US senator, and thus a Washington insider.
And as they woo social conservatives and evangelicals in the Hawkeye State, they’re taking aim at Cruz.
