i'd say it's both. he's been doing proper gubernatorial things but he's also been saying some indirect but pretty sharp things about romney. and then last night, i'm told, he was on channel 5 (local fox) and was asked "now that you've escorted obama around the state, aren't you going to invite romney?" and the smoke was coming out his ears.Christie is doing exactly the right thing as NJ Governor by fucking off the campaign stuff, and with his reported antipathy to Romney is probably going to look back on this as a job well done in sticking the boot in. I do actually, weirdly, feel that he's not playing politics but recognises his state just got really, really bloody damaged.
conveniently forgetting that BO is, you know, actually the President. With Presidential things to do, like overseeing disaster relief and that

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
very true, however in the Fox news clip where Christie is asked about whether Romney was going to visit - franticly trying to get him to say something good about Romney - the utter contempt in Christies words about how he couldn't care less about what Mittens was going to do was 'somewhat illustrative'.
that was far beyond the bare reporting that Obama could give him money, fuel, air assets etc while Romney could only say 'well done'.

Why does it not surprise me that he writes for the Torygraph.Having Moonie Nile Gardiner on his foreign affairs team can't have helped Romney much either. The man's completely Dagenham.

Good blog post from Nate Silver explaining why all indications are that Obama's winning:

He now gives BO a more than 83% chance of winning on Tuesday

Saw this article and it got me thinking, how likely is it that we see a repeat of Florida 2000 in Ohio this time round? If the whole election comes down to Ohio, which it might, then I really wouldn't put it past the Ohio Republicans on a state and local level to go for full-on fraud and disenfranchisement. It's probably their best chance of winning at this point.

Like rats in cities, in Democratic politics you're never more than an election away from a Kennedy.

Interesting views there
Especially enjoyed the idea that Romney is going to win in Pennsylvania and Minnesota Obama with 300+ EC votes and a 3 point margin in the popular vote. Anybody else care to predict?
Romney to take NC and possibly Florida. No other swing state though

I'll colour my prediction a little: Obama only gets to 300+ if he takes Florida (touch and go). Even so, Nevada, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan are all in the bag, Ohio is looking very good, I think Colorado will come through - just - and Virginia should fall to BO as well.
I really cannot see Romney getting close at all

One on one? You're crazy.
If Obama wins the Electoral College but not the popular vote (which is possible) - maybe then there will be calls to change the system - the republicans seemed to forget to do anything about this when Bush lost to Gore on the popular vote, but won on the Electoral College.

Exasperated, not angry.
New Hampshire is another one Romney wont get.Interesting views there

Obama will win - 1-3% national lead. About 300 EC votes. He'll get Ohio but not Florida.
corrected for you
Yep, NH will go blue.
Florida is just painfully close isn't it? This time around the electoral college maths seems to imply that it won't matter anyway (it is all about Ohio - if Romney wins there then he should easily have Florida anyway), but christ the polls are ridiculously close there
