It’s been a busy week in the Christie-tracking business. The governor gives his state of the state address, which sounded more like a presidential campaign speech than a policy road map for New Jersey. He visits Iowa for Governor Terry Branstad’s inauguration. And before you can say "exploratory committee," he’s headed back to the Hawkeye State on Saturday for the Iowa Freedom Summit.

This week on the Christie Tracker Podcast, New Jersey Public Radio’s Matt Katz, Tom Moran, Editorial Page Editor for The Star-Ledger, and Mara Liasson, National Political Correspondent for NPR News, join host, David Furst to discuss how well the Christie “brand” will travel around the country.
