Christie donors flee eleswhere

"In an early stretch of the 2012 presidential contest, some of the GOP's biggest donors—including David Koch—were clamoring for Chris Christie to jump into the race. And had the New Jersey governor taken the leap, he seemed poised to Hoover up donations from the GOP elite. But recent

fundraising disclosures suggest that Christie has lost some of his luster among these big-money players, some of whom have gravitated toward other candidates. ...but the campaign finance disclosure forms of his rivals indicate that some of the governor's past boosters have donated the maximum contribution ($2,700) to his opponents.
Jeb Bush, in particular, has mounted an effort to poach Christie fans—a strategy that seems to have paid off. Bush dealt a big blow to Christie earlier this year when he nabbed New Jersey Jets owner Woody Johnson, who has previously worked closely with Christie and heaped praise on the governor, as his fundraising chair. Johnson donated $2,700 to Bush in mid-June.
Bush's contributors also include Daniel Loeb, a member of the gang of prominent GOP megadonors who pushed Christie to enter the 2012 contest. Loeb, one of the world's richest hedge fund managers, hailed Christie in 2011 as "friendly to capitalism, free markets, and economic growth." (Loeb, who backed Obama in 2008, ultimately backed Romney in 2012.) Now Loeb appears to be backing Bush. In late June, he forked over $2,700 to Bush's campaign.
New Jersey state senator Joseph Kyrillos, the chair of Christie's first gubernatorial campaign in 2009, has also thrown his support to Bush. He is considered a bellwether for New Jersey Republicans, and he surprised many in January when he attended a private dinner in which Bush met with prominent East Coast GOPers. In June, Kyrillos and his wife, Susan, donated $2,700 each to Bush." MotherJones
