lex, a picture of the governor driving a rich dude s ferrari, and the first lady of the state of virginia allegedly discussing the possibility of conducting tests of an experimental nutritional supplement on state employees. all of that is ahead. but first, and to the north, in snowy new jersey, that other governor in the class of 2010, went before the state to deliver his second inaugural speech, and tried to focus on anything but the george washington bridge or new allegations from the mayor of hoboken. the inauguration of the 55th governor of new jersey was supposed to be yet another opportunity for chris christie to introduce himself to a national audience. so help me god. congratulations, governor. the undeclared launch of his 2016 presidential campaign. instead, christie s coming out
instead, christie s coming out party took place under a cloud of scandal and suspicion. the big question, how was the christie administration going to handle it all? today, they tested out a new strategy. they simply ignored it. yep, that was lieutenant governor kim guadagno, relatively obscure jersey politico, who isn t so obscure anymore. the fact is that the lieutenant governor came to hoboken, she pulled me aside in the parking lot, and she said, i know it s not right, i know this thing should not be connected, but they are, and if you tell anyone, i ll deny it. following in the footsteps of guadagno, who has denied any wrongdoing, christie himself, who also denied any wrongdoing, also pretended like nothing happened. sticking the script of the republican who wanted a blue state, he delivered a speech that could have been written on election night, 77 days ago. each one of these challenges
right now. he wants, if he s on the sunday talk shows this weekend, you know, is he does he have a risk of being overexposed? i think he ll go away for a while. this was a big coming out party. they designs the election, designed his election night speech as to sent a message to washington, fund-raisers a whole. we re three years out. it s a long, long way before we get to iowa. the thing that is worst saying, he s about to take over the republican governors association which is a perfect platform for him to go to the swing states under the cover of another purpose, raise money, meet people. a question in a republican contest, for the nomination, how would he do in a place like iowa or new hampshire, south carolina, the early contests, against the rand paul or marco rubio or a ted cruz? you know, most of whom the tea party supporters, a key base of the republican party, they love those guys. yeah, and he s not going to
feeling double what we re feeling. as you have heard, a number of democrats, a number of the president s former advisers have called for more transparency from the administration. should the administration start to hold daily briefings on the rollout of the health care website as some in your own party have suggested? i think daily briefings are great. i would imagine that the press secretary is doing people giving updates lady, but i think formalizing that would be worthwhile, certainly. all right. thank you, congresswoman. we should note that white house press secretary jay carney just announced that cms will hold daily briefings starting tomorrow. congresswoman, thank you for your time. thank you. well, it was a coming out party fit for a royal across the pond. prince george made his second public appearance today with the duke and duchess of cambridge for his christening. it was an intimate ceremony held at st. james palace with a small group of family and friends,
said he was going to repeal it. we won. susie, i was struck he seemed ra lot more focused, a lot sharper, a lot lively, energetic than he seemed, you nope, lately. maybe this fight with the republicans as crystal said is sort of giving him more purpose. this one fairtive started to table a little bit. maybe it was an opportunity to reverse that narrative. one thing we were showing the approval rating at where it is now, that is miles above where it is how people feel. chris. you have to keep that in mind. obama knows their polls overwhelmingly shows whatever happens, people will blame republicans. it also is a good running. the advantage potentially from the white house perspective in terms of republicans fixateing on obamacare is this is its big coming out party. this is its big moment that the white house genuinely believes
