November 10, 2013 - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appeared on four Sunday morning talk shows today in the wake of his landslide re-election victory this past Tuesday. Christie said the key to his victory was his willingness to go to areas that normally do not vote for Republicans. In particular , he mentioned his visit to Irvington , New Jersey where four years ago he received only 4.7% of the vote. Governor Christie said that "the lesson is to show up. You can't just show up to groups that don't usually vote for you six months before an election. You go there, you listen, you present your views, and that's how you build it." 

Christie deflected criticism that has come his way since his re-election that he is not a conservative but a moderate. "I don't get into these labels," the Governor said. "That's the Washington D.C. game, and what all those men and women down there play. Judge me by my record. That I'm very , very comfortable with."

November 6, 2013 - Georgia State Senator Jason Carter ,the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, announced today that he is running for Governor. Carter , 38, should he win the Democratic nomination would then challenge the current Republican Governor of Georgia Nathan Deal. Carter's grandfather had a similar political path, as President Carter was first elected a State Senator in Georgia before becoming Governor in 1970. Jimmy Carter then stunned the political world when despite not being well known he won the Democratic Party Presidential nomination in 1976. In November of 1976, Jimmy Carter defeated President Gerald Ford. Carter lost his 1980 re-election bid to Ronald Reagan.
