The Governor placed his bet on Runyan early-on and the Governor was right.
Christie made no secret about the fact that no race in the state was more important to him and to New Jersey's Republican Party than this one and the Governor was clearly delighted with the results.
Let me be the first to say this, Christie said: "I give you Congressman-Elect Jon Runyan."
As for Runyan, he was elated and humbled but also as animated as I've ever seen him.
"I'm going to be the biggest person on the House floor," Runyan said. "But I'm going to take all that bigness and use it to shrink the size of government."
With that, the crowd roared its approval.
Christie, Runyan and other GOP leaders lingered to shake hands with the crowd -- an ebullient crowd that was reluctant to let them go.
It's hard to underestimate just how much Republicans in Camden, Burlington and Ocean counties thirsted for this victory. How sweet it is!

I've met Runyan a couple of times (including tonight) and have been impressed. I really hope he doesn't get corrupted by the cesspool that is Washington.
His heart is in the right place, Josh. And he did us proud Tuesday night.
I saw Congressman Runyan's interview on CNN today and I was a little concerned as to how he danced around the Questions. There was no commital on his part...Congressman please dont become COMPROMISED..REMEMBER WHO VOTER FOR YOU..Us Tea Party members..........
