Change the (R) to a (D)…the press will drop the issue in a heartbeat, and the Democrat legions will rejoice that one more hardball-playing politician has joined their ranks.

(Update#1) Word has it this solution is getting Hillary verrrrry nervous…

(Update#2) Inside sources suggest this was Christie’s intention all along. He saw the (D) was working for Obama with the Benghazi-IRS-NSA-whatever scandals, and a party change gets him the anti-Hillary/anti-GOP media storm-troopers in one fell swoop.

2016, here he comes.

(Update#3) A Democrat power-broker declares that, if Christie were a Democrat, this latest kerfuffle would actually give him enhanced ‘street cred’ in their Party.
