Christie: O’Donnell Was a “Missed Opportunity”
Amanda Terkel reports:
WASHINGTON -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), one of the GOP's rising stars who is pointed to as a model for Republicans in the Northeast, sharply criticized Christine O'Donnell on Sunday, saying her candidacy led to a "missed opportunity" for the party to pick up the Delaware Senate seat.
"I think Delaware was a missed opportunity to have a really good United States senator, Mike Castle, and that's why I endorsed him in the primary," said Christie on NBC's "Meet the Press." He added, however, that the Tea Party was a "net positive" although there would be "variance around the country."
