And what about nominating minorities? You’re making the whole thing seems like a matter of “personal grace”, “I could’ve nominated a Christian white man married to a woman, but I chose not to”.

It’s all about a candidate’s or a nominee’s competence, I don’t care if all elected officials were Christian, male, white and living with a member of the opposite sex as long as they’re not delusional, corrupt, theocratic and bigoted.

Kudos to Christie, and I don’t recall this achievement making The Blade – selective reporting I guess. BTW, if gay New Jerseyans want to get “married” bad enough, they can walk across the border to New York.
