Media desperate for a Chris Christie-Rand Paul death match

First there was the so-called "b*tch fight" between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a spat that took place in pointed jabs delivered by each man in on-the-record comments to reporters. Now, there's this:

The Daily Caller has learned that Christie has been invited to join Paul when the libertarian-leaning Republican travels to New Jersey for a campaign appearance next month.

Paul is heading to Clark, N.J., on Sept. 13 to campaign for Steve Lonegan, the Republican nominee in the state for the U.S. Senate. Lonegan, a former mayor, is running against Booker, the Democratic mayor of Newark. [...]
