John Kasich gets endorsed by a less exciting New Jersey governor
John Kasich earned the endorsement of a New Jersey governor on Friday, although not the New Jersey governor — Chris Christie's endorsement just went to Donald Trump. Instead, the Kasich campaign announced in the aftermath of that bombshell that former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman would be supporting John Kasich for president.
While earning the endorsement of a state governor is of course a difficult and exciting thing, Kasich's announcement suffers from a tragic case of very, very bad timing.
