I wouldn't be at all surprised if Christie was poising himself for a run in 2016. I think he knew Romney was a losing ticket; he declined any interest in the VP nomination and then not only praised Obama's handling of Sandy, but declined to appear with Romney at an event a day or two before the election. I do think his response to Sandy and with Obama was genuine and was pretty impressed with the job he did around that, but the cynical part of me also thinks he knows he can't run for president in 2016 if there's a Republican incumbent.
