What Christie Won’t Talk About Tonight

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told the Newark Star Ledger he won’t be touting his state’s economic recovery during his Republican convention keynote address.

Said Christie: “Let’s make one thing really clear. There are three words that are not in my speech Tuesday night: ‘The Jersey Comeback.’ So for all those Democrats real worried or got real excited that maybe I’d have to take it out or maybe I put it in, those three words aren’t in the speech.”

First Read: “There’s a reason for that. When Christie took office in Jan. 2010 unemployment was 9.7 percent. It dropped to 9.0 percent earlier this year, but has since ballooned to 9.8 percent – the highest it’s been in 35 years.”
