Chris Christie on Meet the Press, November 7, 2010

If there's one thing we don't need in the White House it's another lawyer, but Chris Christie has been walking the walk in New Jersey from the day he was sworn in as governor. Detractors will say he has not been in office long enough to entertain a run for the White House in 2012, but I seem to recall a very short tenure in the U. S. Senate by the current occupant of that House. Christie also served as a highly successful U. S. Attorney in New Jersey before running for governor. He was never a community organizer, though.
