I hear a lot of the usual suspects praising Chris Christie to the Heavens-starting with Morning Joe this morning.

I find it rather rich that he's said to be on a comeback during the time of which he's fallen from the main debate stage to the Kid's Table.
He may be 'coming back' but his poll numbers aren't/ Basically he's in comeback mode among the establishment but then they always wanted someone like him anyway. The base doesn't want him.
And he don't agree that he dominated that undercard debate. I think that what dominated was the debate he and Bob Jindal had. Who actually won that debate remains an open question.

You notice that Jeb tried to argue for electability last night as well in mentioning Hillary Clinton almost 20 times-no one else did so as much as 5 times.
What it really amounted to a debate between electability and differentiation of who's the real anti Washington voice.
We know what the establishment thinks. But the base still thinks otherwise. After all the polls show Trump, Carson,and Cruz at 60% or better and the establishment-if you count Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, Christie, and Fiorina, still little better than 20%.

This piece by Dan Balz makes this same observation.
