Christie's Victory

I have come to understand that Christie had the advanatge of a defensive campaign. Since June even Democrats thought Christie would take the win. So much so they debated switching canidates for a while. As a result Christie simly did not have to mess up his campaign. So he played it close to the vest he did not say alot of details to avoid them being used agaisnt them and he tried to stay out of the mudslinging. And he did a good enough job of this and won himself the election.
