So far he talked of his bio-and his families.
Now he is portraying himself as the good gov and outsider.
Rather boring. So far he has not told anyone to sit down and shut up.

Guess he's opening up his big tent.

(3,457 posts)4. I don't think his grandmothers were really single moms, but he was pandering to women for sure...
He's such a bulging bag of bullshit.

LIVINGSTON Teachers, environmentalists and victims of Hurricane Sandy are among the protesters who have gathered at the site of Gov. Chris Christie's presidential candidacy announcement in Livingston later this morning.
"A lot of people think the Shore thing is over," said Chuck Griffin of Little Egg Harbor, a Sandy survivor who said reconstruction of storm-damaged homes lags.
A group of Sandy protesters arrived by bus at Livingston High School, where the governor is expected to announce he's running for president at 11 a.m. They included Terry DeDunta, also of Little Egg Harbor, who said her contractor has been waiting over two years to begin reconstruction.

They said they both blame Christie for what they say is his failure to make Sandy reconstruction a priority.

or even get up the energy to protest.
He's term limited as Governor and there are no other elected jobs around he wants, so he's got to announce for Prez.
He'll lose, of course, and with any luck we'll never hear from him again.
(Unless there's an indictment.)

Amazing that he would leave that out.
