Chris Christie's Re-Elections
In Chris Christie’s speech over his re-election, Chris describes his joy for getting re-elected and expresses how his political rebirth is now his quest for a curing New Jersey of Hurricane Sandy.

We don’t need to know that Christie is a good father; we’d much prefer to know how he is as a governor.

This gives his speech a much more personal feeling and also shortens it because he isn’t using words to help other words that really don’t need to be helped to express their intended
