That's a negative?

I'll defer to your judgment, since you are clearly the greatest expert on negativity we've ever had.

Not sure why he's putting so much against Buono. He's already basically got support from the big Democratic machines in New Jersey, Buono hasn't a shot in the world of beating him. Maybe he knows something we don't that will sink his numbers back to humanity.

Seems unlikely, though paying any attention at all to Buono is odd. I suppose he is just being careful.

Because Christie wants to put away his opponent early when his word's more valuable than hers.

"Going negative" is a way of life for Christie. He probably doesn't even think of it as a tactic.

[DrScholl]

Pressing his luck it seems. If he goes too nuclear, it could backfire.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

That's a negative?

I'd agree with this. Going negative seems to be nothing out of the ordinary from Christie.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Why?  He's so far ahead that he doesn't need to at this point.
