VIDEO: Gov. Chris Christie’s launch rally at his high school in New Jersey on Tuesday will include friends who remember his years as class president — but no teleprompter, in an effort to live up to Christie’s campaign slogan, “Telling it like it is.”
With the independent-minded voters of New Hampshire the key to his come-from-behind strategy, Christie will spend five straight days in the Granite State, beginning the evening of his announcement day. Plunging into the hand-to-hand campaigning that First Staters relish, he’ll hold at least three town halls and attend a Fourth of July celebration, plus various house and diner stops.
Offering himself as a pragmatic, results-oriented conservative, Christie will signal his willingness to take on tough issues that others duck, notably entitlements. Another key part of Christie’s message will be his ability to win and govern in a blue state, where he did well in his reelection race with women, Hispanics and even Democrats.
A top adviser said the announcement tour is meant to showcase a Christie strength: “Communicating to bring people to his side — even people who don’t agree on every issue.” Read more in Politico.
At least one politician is attempting to make himself sound sincere. Ditching the TelePrompTer is a good move that matches his slogan
Teleprompter shmeleprompter. He doesnt stand a chance in states outside the North East.
I’ve been waiting over a year for Governor Christie’s ‘letter’ that was supposed to have been sent to me in regards to a complaint of excessive force with a weapon by police officer in Ocean County! For some unknown reason i haven’t received it as of yet! my point….NO disrespect intended but these 2 officers should have to face assault amongst other unlawful actions just as a civilian! Had the tables been turned i’d still be in jail..(hint,hint) i already took ALL necessary actions as far as complaints within the time Limitations smh hes still an officer! WHY???
