Christie Whitman
Former NJ Gov. Christie Whitman, a Republican, was recalling when she gave the Republican response to the State of the Union in 1995. It's a revealing article in The Los Angeles Times about how things have changed in her party. It includes this exchange:
Is there anyone running in 2016 that you would consider supporting?
"Right now, nope. It’s too early to pick. Too much happening."
Including in New Jersey.
"Right. Including in our home state. We have to see how that one washes out in the end."
Do you think Gov. Christie has handled this well so far? Are you concerned about what you’re hearing?
"Everybody’s concerned. He’s concerned. There’s no question about it. He’s not in a good place right now. I take him at his word when he said that he didn’t know anything about it. That’s troubling, because then people lied to him. As an executive, that’s the worst thing you can have in your team. So he has some tough days ahead of him. But I think he’s handling it as well as he possibly can."
