| Description | My dad’s always been my favorite Republican. It pains me to say that he’ll be voting for Mitt Romney. I’ve tried and tried, but there’s no persuading him. He’s one of those moderate, Lugar-esque, gentlemen Republicans, but he’s still a Republican.
But I have a new favorite (still second to Dad, of course): Chris Christie.
Now, anyone who knows me understands that I’m a die-hard Democrat. But I’m also someone who likes getting stuff done. And when Christie — keynote speaker at the Republican convention, staunch supporter of Mitt Romney — puts his people and his state above his party, it makes me … well, proud. When Christie praises the president for working with him in a crisis, it gives me hope that maybe even congressional Republicans might work with President Barack Obama in a second term. Call me Pollyanna, but if partisan, sharp-elbowed Christie can work with the president, maybe all hope is not lost for D.C. Crisis might even bring the staunchest D.C. partisans together to serve a common American purpose. |
