Was it Chris Christie’s rescue of Obama’s image over Hurricane Sandy that cost the Republicans the election?<\/p>\n
We can’t say for absolute sure, but it’s looking like that may be the case. Dick Morris calls it “Christie’s fawning promotion of Obama’s presidential leadership<\/a>” and credits him with helping turn the tide, when the momentum was favoring Romney. And exit polls by CBS News say that for a full 41% of those polled, Obama’s response to Hurricane Sandy<\/a> was an important factor or the most important factor in their decision. That’s huge.<\/p>\n I have heard conservatives call Christie’s gratuitous effusive praise of Obama’s symbolic response to the hurricane “unforgivable.” I wouldn’t go that far, because I believe strongly in forgiveness. So I’ll forgive Governor Christie. But I won’t trust him. And I won’t vote for him if he seeks the presidency.<\/p>\n (See my earlier post – Chris Christie – not to be trusted<\/a>.)
