Will New York's Chris Christie Please Stand Up?

I didn't support Chris Christie in the Republican primary; most prosecutors don't understand the economy and job creation. But this guy's turning out to be sensational. I like the way he directly takes his opponant's arguments and turns them on their head.

Your policies favor the rich. "We have the worst unemployment in the region and the highest taxes in America. That's no coincidence."

This is exactly how to deal with the worn out tropes of the left. For a closer look at how Christie is doing this, read this article in the WSJ:

It is a how-to guidebook for how all Republican politicians should be running for office. Rob Astorino used the same playbook when ran for County Executive this past fall, and he trounced Andy Spano. In one debate, Rob said, "here's what my opponent is going to tell you," and then he discredited each argument before Spano has a chance to even raise them. It was brilliant. Spano's whole playbook was blown up before he had a chance to say anything, and he was left sputtering.

Most Republicans politicians- still - are terrified to take stands on issues where they know they will draw liberal fire. We have Republicans like this right in our own back yard. For instance, ask a Republican if they favor small government and 100% will say yes. Ask that same person what specific programs they would cut, and watch them run out of the room because they're late for an appointment.

Christie has also thrown down the gauntlet to the teachers union in New Jersey, something no one in New York seems willing to do (Bob Castelli excepted).

We need to begin the Chris Christie cloning program.
