    His Democratic opponent, State Senator Barbara Buono, called the ruling “a stark reminder that Governor Christie stands on the wrong side of history.”

Good and true. Unfortunately this sort of press will probably only help Christie at this point inre: 2016, because if anything he's seen as not conservative enough by the people who would vote for him.

Either way it's always nice when progress wins on the micro scale.

He's also being very careful not to oppose same-sex marriage itself, his line is that it should be refferred to a vote, which is proabbly a good strategy if he needs votes now but thinks public opinion will shift by 2016.

Yeah. I guess he's the GOP frontrunner at this point, and he seems savvy enough to make it work. Pretty young too.
