Critics in G.O.P. Say Chris Christie Is in a ‘Bubble’ →

Maggie Haberman and Nicholas Confessore, The New York Times:

In Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr. Christie’s negative ratings in some opinion polls are higher than his favorable ones. He has been slower than Mr. Bush to lock down support within the Republican Party’s pool of big-name “bundlers,” and it is unclear how quickly Mr. Christie is amassing cash. A spokesman declined to say, or even provide a range for, how much money the governor’s leadership political action committee has raised.

Chris Christie’s presidential campaign is floundering because of hubris. In other news, it’s below freezing and the cup of water I left outside froze.
