Today's ticker tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes isn't the only Giants celebration happening today. Chris Christie, who insists on calling the team the New Jersey Giants, is throwing a celebration of his own at MetLife Stadium. And Naughty by Nature will be there! more ›

The Chris Christie civil rights apology tour continues! After flubbing his first apology by going and calling a New Jersey lawmaker "numbnuts," the Garden State gov took to the airwaves yesterday to again apologize to anyone he might have offended when he suggested white Southerners should have been allowed to vote on civil rights gains for blacks in the 1960s. But he's not sorry about calling Assemblyman Reed Gusciora "numbnuts," okay? more ›

Oh Christie, Christie, Christie. The New Jersey Governor today again tried to explain those comments last week in which he said that white Southerners should have been allowed to vote on civil rights gains for blacks in the 1960s. But while the big guy was talking he went and called an openly gay New Jersey Assemblyman "numbnuts." D'oh! more ›

Chris Christie has vowed to veto any gay marriage bill that passes his desk—causing him political headaches since it looks like he may have to put that vow to the test. Also giving the roly-poly governor of New Jersey headaches? A comment he made earlier this week suggesting white Southerners should have been allowed to vote civil rights gains for blacks during the 1960s. Let's just say some people respectfully disagree with the presumed 2016 GOP presidential candidate. more ›

Democratic lawmakers in New Jersey are really serious about their promise to bring marriage equality to a vote in the Garden State, and Governor Chris Christie is really serious about trying to get around them without upsetting either side too much. Today a Senate committee in the state advanced a bill on the topic in an 8-4 vote along party lines. Which gave Chrstie the perfect time to push instead for a voter referendum in November on gay marriage. more ›

Well. That happend. Today on Fox News's The Five in a segment on Newt Gingrich's South Carolina victory and how Chris Christie responded to it, half-term Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin referred to the not-petite New Jersey Governor getting his "panties in a wad." See for yourself: more ›

NJ Governor Chris Christie discussed the "New Jersey Comeback" during his State of the State today and seemingly laid the cornerstone to his 2016 campaign: He announced that he wanted 10 percent tax reductions for all Garden State residents. more ›

Last week, NJ Governor Chris Christie postponed his State of the State address after a GOP leader and friend died at the Statehouse. Now, he's ready to give his speech at 3 p.m. (you can see it live here), and he's been trying to get people (well, political reporters) excited by sharing his movie trailer about the "Jersey Comeback" which is less amusing than Mayor Bloomberg's State of the City video but possibly as surreal: more ›

New Jersey governor Chris Christie is above partisan squabbling and name-calling. As he was trying to explain this to a group of Mitt Romney supporters at a campaign stop in Exeter, New Hampshire, he was rudely interrupted by a group of Occupy protesters who shouted "Christie kills jobs!" But thanks to his years on the stand-up circuit, Christie handled the hecklers like a pro. "You know, something may go down tonight but it ain't gonna be jobs, sweetheart!" We're guessing New Jersey's chief executive then ordered the group a round of strawberry daiquiris and told the bartender to "keep playing Buffett until I can get these ladies home." more ›

Avian enthusiasts who are bummed about the recent death of Washington Square's red-tailed hawk Violet may find solace in the fluffy bosom of New Jersey's new snowy owl. That's right: an owl that normally makes the Arctic tundra its home has been roosting at the Merrill Creek Reservoir in Warren County New Jersey for two months. Experts the Star-Ledger spoke to seem to think that there may be a "baby boom" of snowy owls in Canada, forcing them to travel further south. We're eagerly awaiting Chris Christie's demand that the owl "get the hell over to the Jersey Shore's fabulous casinos and fine dining." more ›

Smelling the blood emanating from Ron Paul's Pamphletgate Redux, Mitt Romney is closing in on the Good Doctor's lead in Iowa one week from the primary. In addition to his $1.1 million ad buy, Romney's bringing out the biggest gun in his arsenal to seal the deal: New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who will be appearing on radio shows and perhaps even at stump speeches. But will that be enough to paper over the fact that Mitt Romney is a cyborg created by a race of lightly salted water crackers from the planet Carrdon, sent here to study and infiltrate the human race? Consider the evidence. more ›

New Jersey Governor, non-presidential candidate and Mitt Romney supporter, Chris Christie went on MSNBC's Morning Joe this morning and got right to business, dropping doozies left and right. To start, he dinged on host Mika Brzezinski for being in the "tank" for President Obama, then made some swipes at the President himself (including a few arguably false statements), all the while praising his man Mitt every chance he got. "My problem with the President is that he has not stepped up and led," Christie said, later adding that Obama is "probably the weakest president I’ve seen in my lifetime," and arguing that "I’ve had to face much tougher things in New Jersey from a political perspective than [Obama] has." more ›

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie helped embattled Republican candidate Mitt "Crackers And Water, Thanks" Romney raise over $1 million at a fundraiser in Parsippany last night. But isn't Christie concerned with being associated with someone who'll be kissing Gingrich's Tiffany's ring come summertime? "If I were concerned about Newt Gingrich, I’d have had to be concerned about Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Perry, all of whom held similar leads to the leads speaker Gingrich holds now over Gov. Romney in various states." Forgetting someone? more ›

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie derisively mocked protesters who interrupted his speech endorsing presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Iowa last night, at the headquarters of Kum & Go, a regional gas station and convenience store chain. Minutes into his speech, demonstrators deployed the ever-annoying call-and-response "people's mic" to condemn Romney and Christie. Here's the video, courtesy NBC: more ›

Yesterday it came out that the presumed dead plans to extend the 7 train to New Jersey were very much alive if very much in its infancy. And now the plan has gotten a vote of confidence from no-less than the man who killed the last big New York-New Jersey tunnel project, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. more ›

The numbers don't lie: a recent Quinnipac poll of New Jersey residents finds that—shocker!—they don't like the Jersey Shore. more ›

Things are looking up for the Stormin' Mormon: according to various reports, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid at 3 p.m. Billionaire GOP donors have less than one hour to convince Christie to run unless they throw down a few million to stop Greenwich Mean Time so they can have that custom-made helicopter painted "Jersey Buff." more ›

Yesterday, Chris Christie confirmed that he was not going to be running for the job of President of the United States (at least not in 2012). But with Christie confirming what he's been saying for ages, where does that leave political pundits? Licking their wounds and reviewing the tape. And luckily, yesterday's press conference had lots of good tape to review! more ›

It's been a long, strange, helicoptery trip, but Chris Christie has chosen life: the New Jersey governor is holding a press conference today at 1 p.m. to announce that he is NOT running for president. "He's not running. Mary Pat and the gov just called tier one [donor] group to say he was out," a source tells Politico. Those tier one donors shouldn't worry, as they can just shift their donations to Mitt Romney. Or they can shovel the cash into a giant pit in the earth, douse it in kerosene, and set it on fire. While both choices will have the same result, the primal urge to bask in the glow of combustion is considerably more exciting than Mitt Romney. more ›

Ten out of ten GOP billionaires agree: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie should run for president. But with just weeks to go before the filing deadlines, and so many "no" answers to mitigate, the governor who is already in the pocket of Big Helicopter has mobilized a group of trusted advisers who are "getting their arms around what's going to be required," a source who obviously hasn't read any of the recent coverage about Christie's weight tells the Times. more ›

Chris Christie is flip flopping left and right this week. Not only is he seemingly reconsidering his definitive statements against running for President but today he also has capitulated to the US Department of Transportation. Though earlier this year he was adamant that New Jersey would not be paying back the federal government any of the funds it had taken for the Trans-Hudson ARC tunnel he nixed (citing its high cost), today he agreed to pay back $95 million of the $271 million in federal dollars spent by the state on the project (in addition to agreeing to spending some of the funds it received on USDOT-approved projects). more ›

This year Chris Christie has gone from constantly denying any interest in running for President in 2012 to flirting with the idea to denying any interest while clearly showing intrest to being actively courted by the GOP. Is America ready for an overweight presidential candidate? We may soon find out! For once non-News Corp. sources are now also saying he's seriously mulling a run while he gives a talking tour around the country. But if he is going to make a bid, he doesn't have much time! more ›
