Chris Christie Coming to Boston on Friday

Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and other big-name Republicans are hosting a fundraiser for the possible 2016 GOP presidential hopeful.

New Jersey Gov. and possible 2016 GOP presidential hopeful Chris Christie will be in Boston on Friday for a fundraiser, according to the Boston Globe. The fundraiser, for Christie's 2013 gubernatorial campaign, will be held at the Boston home of Christopher and Jean Egan. It is being hosted by former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, former GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker and former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, among others. Christie is popular among Republicans and toyed with a run for president in 2012 before deciding not to run. He made numerous visits to key early-voting states like New Hampshire to stump for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. FENWAY-KENMORE PATCH: Facebook | Twitter | E-mail Updates

Some great points. We need to be a bit more civil. I hear friends on both sides say all too often, "they (other side) are idiots", or "they are only out for (blank) interest group". My main point is that both sides are usually pretty hypocritical. Need more Reagan/Tip or Kennedy/Hatch relationships to actually get something done now and then.   more ›
