I understand why the left want to bring him down - they want the GOP to keep putting up far right loonies so that moderates will stay clear - but I think that a centrist, or at least someone willing and able to cross the aisle, is what the country badly wants and needs. I get why vocal factions of Christie's own party want rid of him, but I think that the Democratic-leaning media outlets are no better than their opposite numbers if they're going to try and tear down the first genuine candidate since McCain who appears capable and willing to be the bridge between the two parties that they have been asking for.
