GOP stars Chris Christie and Haley Barbour campaign in Oregon for Dudley

Christie, who ousted Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine last year, has become a rising Republican star around the country for his tough talk about cutting budgets, curbing public employee pay and holding the line on taxes.

"I want to give you a preview of what's in store for you," said Christie to the cheers of the GOP activists who clearly relished the thought of Dudley doing battle with the Democratic leadership of the Oregon Legislature.
