While the Cowboys might be America’s team, not everybody loves them, and that could cost Christie some votes.

According to a story by Bryan Altman of CBS Sports, Christie is basically unelectable in at least six states because of his Cowboys fandom.

Pennsylvania (Eagles), New York (Giants), Maryland (Redskins), California (49ers), Michigan (the playoff controversy with the Lions last year), and finally New Jersey.
