Governor Chris Christie Hits Record Approval Rating in New Jersey
74 percent of voters in the Democrat-leaning state approve of the Republican governor's job performance
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's approval rating continues to soar in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday finds Christie with a 74 percent approval rating in the state—the highest rating Quinnipiac has found in 17 years of polling on New Jersey governors. And in a boon for Christie's bid for a second term, 71 percent of voters say the governor deserves to be re-elected this November.

And all it took was praising President Obama and demanding federal goodies for New Jersey constituents...
Yep. Libertarianism is, and will continue to be, just a small, greasy smudge on the political map. Until the gov. runs out of other people's money. Who am I kidding? It will still be a small greasy smudge even after the gov runs out of other people's money.
