Chris Christie Circling the Wagons

But first of all, let me share the 2 slightly different headlines for this New York Times report.

In print:
Hiring by Christie Suggests
He May Be on the Defensive

Online:
A Hiring by Christie Raises
Questions Over Cooperation

So anyway, here's my favorite part, describing Christie's hiring of Randy M. Mastro.


OK, let's take a closer look at this "third-party perspective".

In the previous paragraph, Kate Zernkie reports that Christie and Guiliani are "longtime friends", who "have shared staff members and advisers.:"

Mr. [Randy M.] Mastro, introduced in paragraph 2 as "a longtime associate of Rudolph W. Guiliiani", is no outsider.  (After reading the Bloomberg article I linked here, you'll probably agree that both headlines apply.)

So whaddya think?  Has Christie inexorably damaged his chances to be the 2016 Republican Presidential candidate?

Don't let this column graph influencing your answer,.
