It was not only Gov. Christie of NJ who reached accross the aisle and praised Obama's handling of post-Sandy performance. The Republican Governor of Virginia (Also Chairman of the Republican Governors Association) did too:
WASHINGTON POST (10-31-2012):
Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell, chair of the Republican Governors Association and a leading Romney surrogate, said the federal response was “incredibly fast and we’re very grateful.”
McDonnell described Obama as “direct and personal” in his approach to the disaster, adding that during natural disasters, “partisanship goes out the window.”
“The election’s going to come, but it says a lot about the president, and it makes me feel good to be an American that people have had the right focus,” McDonnell added.
