The leader of a country (whoever it may be) should not be happy over the defeat of the opposition. Christie seems a bit childish to me for saying this. He is happy over the failure of Ingraham, while he should be celebrating the Bahamas.
He should rather be saying that he will vindicate himself by improving the Bahamas that he is now in charge of. Winning the election is only half the battle, he will not be vindicated until we are able to see his promises fulfilled by the end of his term.
