Murphy will back Christie for Governor

Republican gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie will pick up the endorsement of a formal rival tomorrow when Morris County Freeholder John Murphy announces his support for the former U.S. Attorney.  In 1997, Murphy defeated Christie in the GOP primary for Freeholder.

After the primary, Christie filed a defamation lawsuit against Murphy and his political consultant, David Murray.  The matter was settled out of court.
