Why is Christie a Moderate?

My question for Carter Eskew is, what is about Chris Christie that causes you to label him a “moderate”? Is it his anti-choice position on reproductive rights? Is it his opposition to gay marriage? His hostility to teachers? Was it his refusal to create a health insurance exchange for ObamaCare?

I don’t think you should label someone as a moderate if the only moderate thing they have done is accept federal emergency relief funding.
