damned impressive. His statement that he didn't support Christie because the Mayor is a Democrat who believes in Democratic principles should put every Democrat that supported Christie to shame.

Smart, tough, and humble. A stand up guy with principles. The kind of guy Gov. Traffic Study pretends to be.
