BALDWIN: I want to take you to Washington now. And, you know, it's a pretty tough ticket to get in D.C., this afternoon at least, a ticket to hear this guy, Chris Christie, New Jersey's Republican governor in office barely a year. And he has already proven to be a new conservative rock star, kind of a bit of a bull in a china shop, talks about speaking the truth, talks about doing big things. Here he is. I want to play some of this for you speaking this afternoon to a sold-out crowd.</s>GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE (R), NEW JERSEY: I heard the president's State of the Union speech and it was two weeks after mine. And he said America was about doing the big things. Now, listen, I'm not saying he copied me.</s>CHRISTIE: I have seen some writing about that. And that's not what I'm saying. But I think it's important to note it, because of what he says the big things are. He says the big things are high-speed rail. The big things are high-speed Internet access for almost 80 percent of America or something by some date, a million electric cars on the road by some date. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the candy of American politics. Those are not the big things, because let me guarantee you something. If we don't fix the real big things, then there will be no electric cars on the road, going to be no high-speed Internet access, or if there is, you're not going to be able to afford to get on it. We're not going to be able to care about the niceties of life, the investments.
