Governor, RGA Chairman, and Public Enemy #1 for Mark Levin AND the DNC (go figure?) Chris Christie waded into the Paul Ryan budget debate today, Save Jerseyans, after announcing a couple of additional personnel changes from his Trenton annex office.

“Incremental progress is still progress,” the Governor told reporters when asked if he supported the compromised budget that has drawn the ire of conservatives. Rep. Leonard Lance offered a similar assessment last week.

Look: I’m absolutely no fan of his DREAM Act compromise (it’s still a magnet, folks), but Gov. Christie was 100% right to defend Paul Ryan today.

The purists need to cool it. This is Christmas; a little love and charity would do wonders for the GOP’s chances next fall.
