"Christie is scheduled to travel to New Hampshire on Thursday to campaign beside Walt Havenstein, a Granite State Republican running an uphill campaign against the incumbent Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan. It will be Christie's second trip to New Hampshire in two months on behalf of Havenstein, even though he trails Hassan by roughly 20 points in the polls.
 

For Christie, a trip to New Hampshire to campaign for Havenstein puts him in front of a key group of voters. Coming after the Iowa caucuses, the New Hampshire primary is a critical step in winning a presidential nomination, and for Christie the state is the cornerstone of a possible run at the nomination. It is geographically closer to his home state than Iowa, and more closely aligned with him in its political temperament.

Christie leads early 2016 polling in the Granite State, edging out Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) by a point in polling averages.

The Christie aide also pointed to voter registration numbers in New Hampshire, where Republicans outnumber Democrats, although undeclared voters do represent the biggest category....

Havenstein...is a successful, wealthy retired executive with an ability to fundraise, in addition to his private resources....

The Christie aide pointed to two additional factors: Republicans are competitive in both of the state's congressional races, and in the state's U.S. Senate race, where former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is challenging Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. And finally, President Barack Obama's approval rating in New Hampshire is sagging."...
