Christie has problems with his view of "illegal immigration" as an "administrative problem", rather than a criminal matter. He is a proponent and believer of "man made" global warming and says it's time to "defer to the experts".

Remember the jabs at the debates by Gov. Perry toward Gov. Romney accusing him of supporting Obama's "Race to the Top"? Gov. Christie calls Obama a great ally in education and applied to join the "Race to the Top" program.

Will Gov. Christie be able to fend off all the attacks that will come from the other candidates challenging him on these issues? I don't know, but I don't think we're going to find out.

A recent post on Politico is not so sure of Fox News' report and the story from Christie's brother. They say his people are still in contact with donors. We shall have to stay tuned.
