Christie Is Owed Many Favors

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), “who visited 19 states in the five days leading up to yesterday’s elections to rally support for fellow Republicans, can rest on a stack of owed political favors,” Bloomberg reports.

“Republicans, who dominate the U.S. House of Representatives, captured the U.S. Senate and added at least two governor’s offices to the 29 they control. As the party’s possible 2016 presidential contenders seize on the momentum, Christie, 52, has early national exposure and donor appeal, having raised a record $102 million for races as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.”
