Christie led the way - with a bulldozer. The governor is blunt, brash, and self-consciously authentic, the antithesis to what turns off today's voters: flip-flopping politicians who speak in poll-tested platitudes. Yes, he's the anti-Romney. ↗

Growing up I never imagined a little girl from a border town could one day become a governor. But this is America. In America algo es possible. ↗
