A guy who gets it

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey is the kind of guy who will save the country.

I'm not talking about a presidential election. He's said repeatedly that he won't run for that office next year, and he's too young and inexperienced to be ready for it anyway. But there are several good governors — including Bobby Jindal, Haley Barbour, Mitch Daniels — who are doing the work that we need in every state.

We need more like him in state capitals, and in congress, and in the White House.
