Former New Jersey U.S. Attorney Chris Christie opened up his 23-point lead in the race for the Republican nomination for governor by deploying a $3 million campaign war chest and attacking his conservative opponent’s proposal for a flat tax, CQ Politics reports. Christie is now heavily favored to win the June 4 primary over Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan. The winnner of the GOP primary faces embattled Gov. Jon Corzine (D) in the general election.
