“I think we have some folks who believe that our job is to be college
professors. Now college professors are fine I guess. Being a college
professor, they basically spout out ideas that nobody does anything
about. For our ideas to
matter we have to win. And if we don’t govern all we do is shout to the
wind, and so I am going to do anything I need to do to win.”
— New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), quoted by NBC News, at a closed-door meeting of the Republican National
Committee.
