A Little Base “Outreach”

Jun. 19 Chris Christie 15 comments

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

Since Chris Christie’s standing with Republicans outside New Jersey has suffered as of late, Save Jerseyans, the Governor’s team may be trying to begin the reconciliation process that will almost certainly kick into high gear after November.

Step 1: criticize POTUS on MSNBC.

Step 2: publicly re-declare his love for the Dallas Cowboys…

A RINO from the Northeast would never pull for a Texas team like the Cowboys, right? It’s great base politics, folks, effectively being the sports equivalent of Cristina Kirchner resurrecting the Falklands issue whenever the economy tanks. Sure, it makes this Eagles fan throw up a little bit in his mouth (I’m sure you Blue Men concur), but of all the troubles in the world this isn’t among the worst. I guess.

The Cowgirlsboys reciprocated by retweeting the Governor’s video:

Christie Pans O’s Leadership

Jun. 18 Barack Obama, Chris Christie 4 comments

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

From today’s Morning Joe:

“The fact is, you need someone to take some leadership [in Washington],” Governor Christie said. “And I’m disappointed that the president hasn’t done that either.”

We all know the Governor approved of the President’s federal Sandy response (a point where we disagree, at least in part). I’m unaware of an area in which the President has led this country anywhere other than over a cliff, Save Jerseyans. Governor Christie has, however, consistently criticized Barack Obama’s dearth of leadership skills in a number of other areas including interacting successfully with Congress. Give’em his due on that point even if you do think he’s the devil…

Revitalize Bay Head

Jun. 18 Hurricane Sandy, Jersey Shore, Ocean County 1 comment

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

I’ve already discussed how my Memorial Day Weekend in Ocean County was a bit jarring, Save Jerseyans.

You and I have seen the Sandy damage firsthand. That wasn’t anything new. What really touched me is the extent to which some Jersey Shore communities — particularly some of the Ocean/Monmouth towns that bore the brunt of the storm surge — are still far from fully operational.

It’s a process; the wheels are in motion. New Jerseyans are finding ways to succeed in spite of FEMA. Here’s a great video (promoted by @GovChristie via twitter) detailing how Bay Head is moving mountains to recover and proving how it is truly #stts:

Right Move, Wrong Reason

Jun. 17 Chris Christie, Election 2013, Hurricane Sandy, Jersey Shore, Monmouth County 7 comments

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

As expected, earlier today at the Jersey Shore, Mayor Adam Schneider (D-Long Branch) became the latest prominent Democrat to endorse Governor Chris Christie’s reelection bid.

Sandy sealed the deal for him:

I’m glad another Democrat realized that voting for Barbara Buono is antithetical to the state’s best interests, Save Jerseyans. It’s a promising development. I only wish that some of these Dems were jumping ship for ideological reasons, too, rather than simply having come to respect (and fear) this Governor’s gravitas.

Criticism of the House GOP in the Sandy aid debate has been simplistic to the point of being dangerously misleading. Given all of the ongoing problems with the feds’ response long after the storm hit, you’d would think a Shore mayor should know better…
