Christie, whose name was thrown about as a presidential and vice-presidential candidate earlier in this election, will get a chance to introduce himself to his largest national audience yet, and his most?receptive. There is little chance of him having shout down a heckler at the GOP convention, though he wouldn't be afraid to do so if the situation called for it. For a "rising star" in the party, the keynote slot is considered an opportunity to make a career (as it did for Barack Obama in 2004) or break one (as it nearly did for Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, when he actually was heckled in 1988.) Any future Christie might have as national political figure could begin with that speech.
