Krauthammer now openly claimes that Chris Christie's "bear hug" and heaping praise on Obama more caused the reverse of Romney's climb than any other factor including more damaging than the diversion and "looking-presidential" effect of Hurricane Sandy - and was the most devastating damage to Romney of them all.
The reason he gave is the reason I stated in the OP. It gave Obama something he did not have before, an appearance of bipartisanship by the most prominently adversarial Republican in the country huggingly raving praises of Obama.
If it does turn out to be very close and Romney loses, this will be the reason. And for that reason, Chris Christie has no possibility of being the Republican nominee in 2016 and will never be trusted to be a Republican spokesperson again. Whether calculated or just stupidity, Christie is finished on the Republican national scale.
