Wisniewski On Christie Decision Not to Run for President

(Trenton) - New Jersey Democratic State Committee John Wisniewski issued the following comment after Governor Christie's announcement that he will not abandon New Jersey to run for President:

"Chris Christie finally realized that to run for President, it helps to have been an effective Governor," said Wisniewski.  "On Christie's watch, our bond rating has been downgraded by two of the bond rating agencies, our unemployment rate remains above the national average and middle class residents and seniors continue to be squeezed by higher taxes, higher tolls and higher health care costs."

"It's clear the Governor enjoys the national spotlight and attention.  No one has milked not running for President more than Christie has, making sure to include a fundraiser at the Beverly Hills Hotel on his most recent trip.  He is the Brett Favre of presidential politics.  People will believe he really means it this time if he just stays home and does his job.
