Rible and Angelini think Christie's brand transcends left-right rhetoric

Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini (R-Ocean) and her daughter, Toni, a candidate for council in Matawan.

HANOVER - Assemblyman David Rible (R-Wall) and Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini (R-Ocean) just arrived and they're both ready to keep working for Chris Christie.

There's no official word yet about who won the gubernatorial primary but the crowd is exhilarated by the thought of Christie as governor.

"This goes beyond being happy for my party," said Rible. "I'm happy as a New Jerseyan. I think Chris has the skills to reach across the aisle and appeal to independent voters."

"I heard Chris Christie speak long before I became an elected official and I was inspired," said Angelini. "What he was talking about was how he led his offfice as U.S. Attyorney and it was, 'you guys figure out to do the right thing and go do it.'" He's clearly a man of integrity."

She doesn't think Lonegan banged her candidate too far to the right in the primary.

"CHris Christie's so much more than that," she said. "To the taxpayers of New Jersery the most important thing is he's a strong leader with accountability."

COrzine is Matawan.
