Riidgewood NJ, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has received a boost from the world of reality television with an endorsement from the star of the TLC television show “Cake Boss.”
Christie announced last Thursday afternoon that Buddy Valastro, the owner of Carlo’s Bakery and star of the reality show “Cake Boss” will become chairman of the Small Business for Christie coalition.
The announcement, made in front of Valastro’s bakery in Hoboken, was part of a broader endorsement of the incumbent by small business leaders, including the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
Valastro told the HuffPost that people need to forget about Christie’s weight, as undue attention on the matter could have an adverse effect on young people.(https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/03/cake-boss-chris-christie_n_3860135.html)
“It is kind of sick, the world we live in,” . “People talk about his weight, and we wonder why kids bully kids.”
Valastro, called Christie a “straight shooter,” said that his main reason for backing the Republican has been Christie’s outreach to small businesses as governor. Valastro said that while he does not agree with Christie on every issue, he believes the Republican has done a good job and deserves another term.

Christie currently leads Democratic nominee Barbara Buono by 20 points in a recent poll.
According to Valastro “Governor Christie has kept his promise to remain committed to improving our state’s economic climate throughout the past three and a half years,” . “By cutting taxes and red tape, getting our state budget under control without raising taxes, and fighting for real, effective tax relief, this governor has created an environment in New Jersey that gives small businesses a chance to thrive,”
