Chris Christie in a Crisis

I have long said that I did not think Chris Christie could be a successful National candidate because of his bigger than life persona. That is not a knock on his size, I think those jokes are silly and mean, but because he is such a full personality the chance of him not having some kind of public glitch is small. Outside of that and in a great example of the split in the Republican Party Christie by not being venoumous toward gay citizens would have a hard time gaining a national nomination.

That said watching Christie in what is becoming a disaster of epic proportions in his state of New Jersey he is a fantastic Governor. He is brash and not subtle but he cares and it is evident. Christie has an ability that is beyond the norm by far to get things done.

It also should be noted that politics can be divisive in even times like this, Christie however has been totally above board praising the President and all of his communications with him and the federal government's response to the emergency.

I am not sure it could ever convert to a national election but Chris Christie could well be the best Governor in the country.
