Here's what DePhillips had to say about Christie's keynote:

Governor Christie hit a home run with his keynote address.  He has put New Jersey on the national map in an effective, positive way.  He showed the country tonight that the Christie Administration's successes in smaller government, lower taxes, and education and tenure reform can and will be replicated by the federal government under Romney-Ryan leadership.  The Governor also made the case that every challenge the country faces should not be met by bigger government.  I couldn't agree with him more.
