12. I tend to buy into that viewpoint. Christie may have well had a revelation.

If Christie has had a revelation and tone down to become a more cooperative politician who attempts to work through differences before taking a firm stance, Christie will instantly become acceptable to many people that would not vote for him now on the national stage and become a formidable politician because of that. If Christie has indeed had a life changing revelation that moderates and broadens him, I don't see a democrat now on the national stage that can compete with Christie.
