O'Malley: Christie Candidacy Would Lack Substance

O'Malley: Christie Candidacy Would Lack Substance

The Maryland governor made the comments during an appearance Sunday on the CBS show Face the Nation. O'Malley said Christie has struggled to create jobs, pointing to the state's 9.4% unemployment rate. He also noted that New Jersey's bond rating has been downgraded, and it's schools have slipped in national rankings. 

But appearing alongside O'Malley, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour said the Maryland governor's comments indicate how afraid the Democrats are of Chris Christie. The New Jersey governor has thus far resisted becoming a candidate, but those close to him say he is reconsidering his decision.
