I think I know how this race will end up.
Oh I can definitely tell you, Governor, how this race will end up.
Yesterday a debate was held between New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Democratic Challenger Barbara Buono.
Below the fold is the full video coverage of the debate, as well as two additional snippets of the debate, one notable one of Buono telling Christie to toughen up.

Buono Tells Christie to "Man Up"
Buono Closing Statement
If you have any reason to straight out the Democrats or anyone else who support Chris Christie, here are some bits of information about him:
He's the same guy who said this on the NSA:

"As a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on Sept. 10, 2001, I just want us to be really cautious because this strain of libertarianism that's going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought," said Christie, who served as New Jersey's U.S. Attorney under Bush before he was elected governor in 2009.
"President Obama has done nothing to change the policies of the Bush Administration and the war on terrorism," Christie continued. "And I mean practically nothing. And you know why? Because they work. Because they work. And I think what we as a country has to decide, is do we have amnesia? Because I don't. And I remember what we felt like on September 12, 2001."
Asked if he was referring to Paul, Christie said, "You can name any number of people who are engaged in it, and he's one of them."
The governor then noted that more than 600 New Jersey families lost relatives in the 9/11 terrorist attack.
"These esoteric, intellectual debates — I want them to come to New Jersey and sit across from the widows and the orphans and have that conversation," Christie said. "And they won't, because that's a much tougher conversation to have."
"The next attack that comes, that kills thousands of Americans as a result, people are going to be looking back on the people having this intellectual debate," the governor continued.
And he also vetoed the Medicaid expansion bill:

(Reuters) – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would have expanded Medicaid eligibility under the healthcare law known as Obamacare, his office said on Friday, in an apparent reversal of position for the presumed 2016 Republican presidential hopeful.
Christie’s office announced he vetoed eight bills that “would add potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to state and local budgets.” He also signed a $32.9 billion budget and three other bills, his office said in a statement.
Among the bills he vetoed was a Medicaid expansion under the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law known as Obamacare.
And he made this very insensitive statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA:

He blasted the U.S. Supremes for substituting “their own judgment for the judgment of a Republican Congress and a Democratic President. In the Republican Congress in the ‘90s and Bill Clinton. I thought that Justice Kennedy’s opinion was, in many respects, incredibly insulting to those people, 340-some members of Congress who voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, and Bill Clinton.”
“He basically said that the only reason to pass that bill was to demean people. That’s heck of a thing to say about Bill Clinton and about the Republican Congress back in the ‘90s. And it’s just another example of judicial supremacy, rather than having the government run by the people we actually vote for,” said Christie, who recently appeared with Clinton at a Clinton Global Initiative conference.
Here's the necessary information if you intend to support Barbara Buono for Governor of New Jersey. We don't have much time but we can fire up the base for Buono as much as we can with whatever time we have.
