The conservative website Hot Air does an overview of Christie's town hall with CNN, and they were impressed. Karen Townsend who wrote the review concludes thus:
I found myself agreeing with Christie on most things. There wasn’t a time when I rolled my eyes and thought, “Oh, brother” about anything he said. I’m curious to see how far he gets in the primary and if he makes it to the debate stage.
I share her curiosity. If you choose, the column has a link where you can watch the town hall.
