Chris Christie Is About To Win A Landslide, And He Wants Republicans Everywhere To Understand Why

***SNIP

On Sunday evening, here's what Christie told Morris County voters, at a rally held by the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance:

We need to show the Republican party in America that we can win again. And guess where they're going to be watching on Tuesday night to see if we win: right here in New Jersey.

Christie was too polite to say this, but Republicans will actually be watching two states on Tuesday: New Jersey, where Christie will win a landslide, and Virginia, where Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli will lose badly.

Unlike Christie, Cuccinelli is a favorite of conservatives who love ideological purity and hate compromise. You could hardly come up with a better test case for Christie's compromise-or-die message.

But despair is one of the few things that unites today's fractured GOP. Republicans much more conservative than Romney share his basic diagnosis from the 47% speech. It's an open question whether the juxtaposition of Christie's landslide and Cuccinelli's burial will be enough to convince Republicans that broad popularity is possible and worth compromising for.
