Go Christie Go

From the San Francisco Chronicle: The pile-on began as the California delegation's breakfast kicked off, with headliner and fellow governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, and later Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman, plowing into Brown - to the delight of the partisan GOP crowd.
"Don't give up on the fact that California can be governed," Christie told the adoring crowd. "You've seen it governed before. California once did have great governors, like Gov. Pete Wilson," a Republican who served two terms from 1991-1999.
But, Christie said, "We've just given California away to the public sector unions, to the masters of huge spending and huge government. It doesn't have to be that way."
Then he got personal toward Brown.
"California made a bad choice with an old retread," he said of voters' election of Brown, who had served two terms from 1975 to 1983, to a third term in 2010. "I cannot believe that you people elected Jerry Brown over Meg Whitman," who lost the race by 13 percentage points and is a California delegate to the GOP convention in Florida this week.

Christie continued: "I don't want to be insulting.... Jerry Brown? He won the New Jersey presidential primary over Jimmie Carter when I was 14 years old. And now I got to sit at the National Governor's Association with this guy, and have him come up to me and say, 'Stop telling people that I want to raise taxes...' He said, 'I'm going to put it on the ballot and let the people decide.'
"Yea, that's leadership, isn't it?" Christie added, to the assembled delegates' delight.
