Imus, Christie Mix It Up

I'm listening to Chris Christie on Imus In The Morning on WABC, New York.
And Chris is taking a good ribbing from Imus about being overweight.
What I like is the way that Chris Christie can take a joke and the way he willingly pokes fun at himself. This morning, Chris said it's not so bad that he's anything but svelte because somebody has to patronize places like Dunkin Donuts and IHOP. "You know," Chris added, "the people who work at those places have to make a living, too."
I've said this before but here it is again: Chris Christie is the most human, the most authentic and the most refreshing candidate in this race. In fact, he's the most authentic candidate to run for Governor of New Jersey since the great Governor Richard J. Hughes served our state in the 1960s.
I knew Dick Hughes and he was a people person who knew thousands of New Jerseyans by their first name. He knew them, he recognized them and he loved the people and the state of New Jersey.
Chris Christie is the same way. He's a people person. He understands New Jersey and its people. And he loves our state. And Chris Christie is passionate in his desire to serve the people and the state.
This morning Chris was funny but also sincere, humble but also determined, engaging but also objective enough to know and understand what needs to be done to turn our state around.
In wishing Christie well Don Imus joked: "I really need a winner."
And so too does New Jersey need a winner.
We desperately need somebody who knows us, who understands us, who can inspire us and make us proud of our great state once again.
Chris Christie is that somebody; he is that winner.

Did they talk autism/vaccines?

Dan Cirucci said...

Yes, they did talk autism and vaccines and Christie said he is very concerned about the high rate of autism in NJ.
He empathized with parents who feel that vaccines contributed to or caused autism and he said he was very wary of government regulations.
He suggested that parents should have options -- that perhaps they ought not be compelled to have their children take the vaccine.
As governor, he said he would sit down with these parents (and others)and talk options.
I felt his answer was reasoned, sensitive and sensible.
