They’re just being selfish. They want Chris all to themselves.

I think a lot of people are pleased as piss that this boor is going nowhere fast. Malfeasance shouldn’t be rewarded. Good riddance, bridge-burner.

Nearly two-thirds of New Jersey voters want Gov. Chris Christie to drop out of the presidential contest and return to the Garden State,

Where does this headline come from? The question is “Do you think Chris Christie should stay in the race for President or should drop out of the race for President?” to which 61% said to drop out. And a separate question asks “Which comes closer to your point of view; Chris Christie should stay in office as Governor because he can still serve effectively while running for President, or Chris Christie should resign from his job as Governor because he cannot serve effectively while running for president?” where 51% chose the latter.

There sure are some people who think Christie should drop out AND never return to the state.

According to the Christie campaign, this is New Jersey’s voters way of saying they really, really love Chrisp Chrispie. They want all of him and don’t want to share with the rest of America.

Tradition: It ain’t over until the fat lady sings.

The other third of NJ voters don’t know who he is. Nearly 3/3rds of all other US voters want him to drop out.
