Maybe. Maybe not. Any half black democrat would have won.
You are making this about race. After 8 years of a republican....a democrat was sure to win. And after 8 years of a democrat a republican should win next time although I'm not so sure.
I'm not sure how Christie is saying he is above the law here. Technically he is right.
He is a moron and has no chance of winning the nomination but flawed arguments are flawed arguments. The Colorado laws do run counter to federal laws. The Feds could go in and bust people if they wanted to.
I expect that could be very interesting indeed. If Colorado has done a good job of ensuring that all marijuana sold in Colorado is grown in Colorado, then Colorado has a very strong chance of winning that fight. The Federal Government's Constitutionally granted power is to regulate interstate commerce. It does not not have the right to control commerce that never crosses state lines.
He doesn't care what the people think. He thinks he knows how people should live their lives and the government should tell people what they can eat, drink and smoke. Let's hope this idiot never makes it out of NJ.

As if anyone needed another reason to dislike New Jersey, the state’s governor, Chris Christie, a likely Republican presidential candidate, just said if he were president he’d crack down on legalized marijuana. On the Hugh Hewitt Show, Christie was asked if he’d enforce the drug laws in Colorado and Washington, which Hewitt said were “flaunting federal law by allowing people to sell dope legally.” Christie said he’d “crack down and not permit it.” Hewitt was ready to move on but Christie had more to say:
CC: Marijuana is a gateway drug. We have an enormous addiction problem in this country. And we need to send very clear leadership from the White House on down through the federal law enforcement. Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. And the states should not be permitted to sell it and profit from it.
