Re: Governor
Dear New Jersey,
Here in Pennsylvania we have created a new exchange program to promote understanding between the states. Its operation is very simple. You send us your governor and we send you ours. As a get-started bonus we are more than happy to throw in Philadelphia as part of the swap. So how about it New Jersey? You get Rendell and Philadelphia, and we get Christie? Heck, we'll even consider parting with PennDOT. Hmmm?
Your neighbor,

Re: That Politician you rank "Governor"
Dear New Jersey ,
Here in Ontario we have created a new exchange program to promote understanding between countries (and god knows you need it following 8 years of "W." rulez topped by too much already of blOwbama). Its operation is very simple. You send us your politician and we send you - something which you do not have yet - a Prime Minister. As a get-started bonus we are more than happy to throw in Potash Corp. as part of the swap, no going hungry ever again! Also, in order to compete with other states, such as Pennsylvania, we are happy to supply you with a full year of tar sand oil for you, your friends and your familly as well as steamwhistle and maple syrup. So how about it Ontario? You get Harper (some F35s), and we get Christie? Heck, we'll even consider parting with Celine Dion and maybe just maybe Avril Lavigne. Hmmm?
Your neighbor,
Ontario, Canada (no, its not winter yet).
PS: This offer is conditional on EJ not accepting before as we have been trying to lure him for some time. Anyway, please hurry - see international pre-paid postage enclosed.Comment

Wow, you guys must really like this guy. Alot of people here in NJ already hate Christie, I see bumper stickers everywhere with fancy slogans against him, even a death threat sticker at walmart.
He maybe doing a good job at the state level but, the real waste is at the township/city level, if only we could get 200 mayors like christie.Comment

Doesn't detract from his person or his message, but the videos are part of a very smart campaign and communications strategy.
In particular watch a few of these videos and the background/branding...
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/wei...cal-media.aspx
This might be an obvious point about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, but I haven't seen anyone make it yet. The man's political operation is extraordinary. The legend of Christie as blunt-talking master of truth and invective has been built up in large part by his staff's assiduous use of video. The GovChristie YouTube account is constantly uploading footage of Christie giving it to questioners and appearing on TV shows.
Here's the latest example -- an upload of an emotional, largely policy-free closing statement from a Christie town hall on the "Christie Reform Agenda." (Note the branding and the massive sign behind him.)
What's extraordinary about this? No other governor uses free online video like this! You'd think it would be an obvious alley-oop, but it isn't. Bob McDonnell, the other Republican governor elected in 2009, has only uploaded six YouTube videos since being inaugurated, all of them media hits. The YouTube account of Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, who is up in 2011, has one video -- his announcement of a re-election bid. Tim Pawlenty, a sitting governor who is obviously running for president in 2012, has a YouTube account, but it compiles his media hits and his straight-to-camera greetings in various campaign stops. None of that is as compelling as video of a politician sparring with reporters or town hall questioners.
And that's where Christie's fame has come from! He makes news less for his specific accomplishments, more for viral videos of himself taking names, which are rebroadcast on conservative sites, talk radio, and cable news. Pawlenty's communications team tried, and partly succeeded, in drawing national attention to a win he pulled out on the 2010 state budget, but there was no visual excitement. A single video of him taking on critics at a town hall would have made more of an impression with national Tea Party activists than what he got from that, a Politico cover story on his tricky political win. Christie's team realize that winning fame as a national politician is not altogether different than winning fame as a budding Canadian pop star.
I'm amazed that no other Republican or Democrat who wants to make a national impression has done what Christie did -- hire a new media director and have him pump out video of the man at his best.Comment
