The President's New Best Friend

I've said before that I'm intrigued when Republican writers/bloggers/pundits criticize Republican politicians. In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy we're seeing the flipside of that coin: New Jersey's Republican governor, Chris Christie, keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention and top Romney surrogate, is now heaping praise on President Obama for his handling of the storm.

On the Today Show: "The President has been outstanding in this."

On CNN: "I spoke to the President three times yesterday. He has been incredibly supportive and helpful to this state and not once did he bring up the election."

On Twitter: "I want to thank the President personally for all his assistance as we recover from this storm."

Yowza. What's Christie up to? Salon's Steve Kornacki has some thoughts.

Update: I'm not the only one who's finding this entertaining.  Maureen Dowd, Jeffrey Goldberg and Reuters are all trying to get inside the Gov's head.
