Christie Still ♥’s Butch

Republican Governors Association Chairman Chris Christie issued the following statement regarding Idaho Governor Butch Otter’s announcement that he will seek re-election: “Governor Otter has put conservative principles to work in Idaho, building a solid foundation for families, entrepreneurs and businesses seeking a place to grow and succeed. Under his direction, the state is enjoying its lowest unemployment rate in five years, educational opportunity and workforce development remain top priorities, and government operates within its means. Governor Otter’s leadership in Idaho is and will continue to be a source of great strength for the state, and the Republican Governors Association is proud to support his campaign for re-election”/Republican Governors' Association.

Question: Is this really the endorsement that Gov. Butch Otter wants?
