I also was excited by Christie's early promise and counted myself among his fans.

But the first red flag - and major disappointment - was his wishy-washy stand on the Ground Zero Mosque.

Now this which is perhaps even more outrageous. He is sending a clear message now where he stands, especially in the profoundly insulting vehemence of his response to those who have raised questions about it.

It immediately of course raises questions about his position in regard to Israel. That is not a concern of a governor. But it certainly is of a President and it would not surprise me now if his position was as bad, or even worse, than Obama's.

Therefore I can no longer consider myself a supporter and I would even go so far as to oppose his re-election in NJ.
