In her concession speech Tuesday night, state Sen. Barbara Buono (a.k.a. "Some Democrat") blurted out the truth, saying her campaign aides "withstood the onslaught of betrayal from our own political party." She added later about related events: "I took one for the team. The only problem, I realized too late there was no team." How did Christie get such widespread support from Democratic bosses, mayors, and others? Was it his good looks and charm? Well...I'm sure that helped, but mostly Christie won bipartisan support the old-fashioned way: He bought it.
