Chris Christie and Karl Rove - Perfect together
Posted by Jill | 8:53 PM
The Republicans thought they were getting a straight-arrow, law 'n' order prosecutor when they decided that Chris Christie was their man. I wonder how much even New Jerseyans who think Jon Corzine has done a crappy job want to elect one of Karl Rove's boys to the governorship:
ew documents about Karl Rove's involvement in the U.S. Attorney firing scandal have the potential to create ripples in the 2009 gubernatorial race in New Jersey.

In an on-the-record interview with the House Judiciary Committee on July 7, 2009, the former Bush strategist acknowledged that he had held several conversations with current GOP candidate Chris Christie over the course of several years regarding the possibility of running for the governor's chair.

Christie, Rove said, was interested in mounting a bid and "asked me questions about who -- who were good people that knew about running for governor that he could talk to."

The admission ties the former New Jersey-based U.S. attorney even further to the Bush administration at a time when his election opponent, Gov. Jon Corzine, has attempted repeatedly to push that connection. It also raises questions as to how apolitical Christie was in his prior job.
