Christie can say whatever he wants, it's only a campaign

Thurman Hart has a good catch and Observation on how even Republicans don't go along with the Christie talking points:
Even Republicans don't believe Chris Christie's tripe:

[Former acting Governor Donald T.] DiFrancesco, a lawyer in Warren, Morris County, said he was not offended by Christie's remarks. He said the criticism is part of the routine give-and-take of the campaign trail, and part of Christie's attempt to portray himself as a refreshing independent alternative to Corzine, unafraid to antagonize his own party if need be.

"If they are going to blame a bunch of people for what happened, I guess they are going to have to throw me into the mix," DiFrancesco said. "I don't think it is negative... It's a campaign, he can say whatever he wants."

Yeah, it isn't like he's saying anything he actually means, right? This is just about getting elected... once he's in office, the good old boys will be back in the saddle again. He just has to sound like he's making a break with the past.

Reminds me of how Chris Myers ran for Congress by saying we needed to "look like" we were winning in Iraq. Yeah, there's no need to worry about reality - just let the spin doctors handle things until the elections are done. Then we can hand out fat contracts like candy at a diabetic conference.

The problem is that Christie does say whatever he wants, regardless of whether reality matches the rhetoric he uses. But it's ok, because it's only campaign talk.
