weren't going to win it anyway. I did feel for Buono, but she had to know going in. The added margin served to give additional adrenalin to Christie's political ego/honeymoon. I'm sure there is plenty of resentment that he's considered more electable by separating himself from the Tea Party. But he's still a just a "regional" and the national Moderates will emerge.
Populists/regionals don't win billion dollar national elections because the population or region can't finance them. And the national parties won't heavily support them because they can't win nationally. Thus, the corporate donors...which the Progressives on the left love to hate...have mostly already declared against the Tea Party radicals ... why? Because Big Money knows how to go where it pays off...like it or not. They are pretty much all in for the Moderate Republican with national stage presence to appear, thus the OP.
Still left is to watch how quickly the Democrats/Left solve their problems...the largest as I see it, is whether to foolishly waive national/corporate funding. This populism seems to mirror the unwinable Republican's regional issues. Both unworkable in the long run, but possibly able to scuttle a national win for the Democrats.
The sooner Democrats get that Elizabeth Warren is not unintelligent enough to throw away her amazingly successful life's work that no one else has been able to do, on a fluke up against Hillary just to please some disaffected Democrats (with no power or financial base) who dislike Ms. Clinton, and ultimately having to ask for money from the same places she's been investigating and chastising.
