In fact, if anything, Chris Christie agrees with Obama in message. You can read the article, but the New Jersey Governor already supports a automatic weapons ban (which New Jersey has) and more Mental Health support to end violence.

I actually don't undertand the purpose of the headline, except to get people to read it and show that the Governor would be a formidable candidate for President, should he ever get that far.

I agree. He's got an honest edge that I like, although he is rather prone to blaming the Teachers Union for all the ills of the world. Aside from that, he's a good guy. He is willing to work with either party to get things done.
.
Given that (AND his support for an assault weapons ban AND his appointing a Muslim to the State Supreme Court AND his no-doubt future signature for Gay Marriage AND his working with Obama during Hurricane Sandy AND his limited support of a woman's right to have a teeny tiny bit of control over her own vagina) he will no doubt never get the nomination - unless every other Republican is of the same caliber as 2012's crop of nincompoops.
.
But if he gets that far, I like him. I mean, at least he doesn't reflexive get the hee-bee jee-bees from 47% of Americans, so he's off to a better start already.
.
In any case, he is reasonable. ARTICLE

PS - Totally rude to start an article with the clause.. "By the time Gov. Chris Christie waddled out the door..."
