Christie Looking Good in Theoretical Race With Booker

New Jersey Governor is seeking re-election in November 2013

As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's approval rating  continues to soar to record highs a day after he announced his intention to seek a second term as governor, a new poll shows him crushing Newark Mayor Cory Booker in a theoretical 2013 governor race.

Booker, a Democrat, is widely considered to be Christie's staunchest potential opponent in a 2013 campaign. But the poll, from Rutgers-Eagleton, gives Christie a nearly 20-point lead over Booker.

this is like taking a poll after the first iraq war and thinking it means something. booker's too smart to run against christie anyway, but there are times to take polls, and there are times when you know the result is going to be distorted and you should go golfing.
