Is he fighting the good fight,or the partisan fight?

U.S. Attorney Chris Christie appears to be doing a good job in rooting out corruption in the Garden State. The question is whether some of his activities — his decision to take his anticorruption message to voters in Republican districts or to be seen primarily with Republican legislators — are leaving a bad taste and raise questions about his impartiaility. This is especially true with the controversy over the Bush administration’s apparent partisan power grab in the Justice Department still raging.

Christie has a partisan background and there are rumors, which he denies, that he will be challenging Gov. Corzine in 2009 — or running for some other office. I won’t go so far as to call him a partisan hack, but the math on this does not add up.
