according to a new polling from bloomberg, hillary clinton leads chris christie nationwide by seven pointsit's clinton 45, christie 38. no other republican comes that close to hillary clinton. against jeb bush, capitol hill ton leads by nine. 47 for clinton, 38 for bush. same for rand paul, 47 to 38. and against marco rubio, clinton's lead grows up to 11 points. clinton 47, rubio, just 36. i know what you're thinking... transit fares! as in the 37 billion transit fares we help collect each year. no? oh, right. you're thinking of the 1.6 million daily customer care interactions xerox handles. or the 900 million health insurance claims we process. so, it's no surprise to you that companies depend on today's xerox for services that simplify how work gets done. which is...pretty much what we've always stood for. with xerox, you're ready for real business. stick with innovation. stick with power.y much what we've always stood for. stick with technology. get the flexcare platinum from philips sonicare and save now. >> welcome back to "hardball" no matter how the question is asked, the majority o

anyway, that was chris christie dancing, i guess you call that, on "the tonight show" with jimmy fallonght. and a performance we're not likely to forget anytime soon. to me it's the latest move in christie's charm offensive to rehabilitate his image amid the unfolding george washington bridge scandal, et cetera, et cetera. posturing himself for a potential run for president still in 2016 should he escape the legal entanglements of the scandal. what he wants to show here is that he has nothing to hide, literally. he's willing to look really silly and that may be harmless. it's the perfect counternarrative of the headline perception that he's a schoolyard bully. but playing against type isn't new in american politics because guess what? it works. the common perception of richard nixon in 1968 was that he was uptight, rigidly old fashioned in a changing era. but his appearance on "laugh in" helped counter the impression a little bit. >> oh, no. i don't think we could get mr. nixon to stand still for sock it to me. >> sock it to me? >> as a candidate in 1976, jimmy carter hoped to shed his

>> many of those same came with chris christie to trenton.e were forced to recuse themselves from the investigation. one of the reasons the u.s. department of justice has sent outsiders is to help with the investigation. one of sampson's attorneys was paul fishman's mentor and that hiring was not in any way a coincidence. i think the negotiations we think are going on right now are primarily between chertoff and paul fishman to see what kind of bargain can be struck that would allow paul fishman, 74 years old, reportedly suffers parkinson's disease, had a wonderful and profitable career, what kind of plea bargain could be struck so he would not have to die in jail. >> what do we think -- i mean, the political ramifications of this are even if this proves not to be the case, right, if something changes or they decide things fall apart, that it is precisely the uncertainty that hovers over the fact there's an ongoing criminal investigation that makes it extremely difficult for christie to do the thing he's trying to do which is turn the page. >
