"Christie's tenure started out with great hope and accomplishment. Somewhere along the line, every indication is that he got blinded by his own ambitions," said New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican running for governor and away from the man he hopes to succeed.

Even more disappointing, once he ended his presidential campaign he still wasn't focused entirely on New Jersey."
