Any attack Barbara Buono is making against me means she's attacking my weight.
See what kind of Governor he is? Low attention span.
Although recent polls have show Chris Christie have a commanding lead over Democratic challenger Barbara Buono, Christie appears to have reacted in a sensitive way over a video of Buono where she's reported to have joked about Christie's weight.

The apparent snub from Buono gave way to laughs from the crowd in the video, but not from Christie.
“I think that it is unfortunate that Sen. Buono has decided to go down the same path as Gov. Corzine did in making comments derisively about my physical appearance,” Christie said at a news conference in Newark.
“You know, she was on Chris Matthews’ show months ago and he asked her flat out if she would refuse to run the same type of ads that Gov. Corzine did four years ago when he said I was ‘throwing my weight around’ and she refused to answer that question, and now I think we know why,” he said. “The fact that someone running for governor would make derisive comments about someone’s physical appearance, I think, is really beneath the office that she’s seeking and I’m disappointed that she did it.”
Interestingly enough, then-Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine in 2009 was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN and he was asked about his attacks on then-candidate Chris Christie on his weight. Corzine himself points out that the campaign ads he aired had nothing to do with Christie's actual physical weight but on other decision making issues Corzine mentions raise into question his credibility.
Of course, then-Governor Jon Corzine himself narrowly lost the NJ Gubernatorial election on November 3, 2009 and has since then been caught in hot water being CEO and Chairman of MF Global and the issue of missing customer funds.
However, in looking at the recent video of Barbara Buono that Chris Christie is criticizing, it appears to be not about Christie's weight but about Christie as a politician and as Buono describes, "an opportunist."
"I don't know about you but seeing Chris Christie frolicking on the beach is not going to drive me to go to the shore."
Buono's statement, in my perspective, seems to refer more to how Chris Christie is misusing state funds and acting irrationally on how he's organized the New Jersey U.S. Senate Special Election.
And Christie reacts by staying this has something to do with his weight?
Well, what do you think?
