In Gov. Christie's latest rant against Dems, a clue to his future


In Gov. Christie's latest rant against Dems, a clue to his future
By Star-Ledger Editorial Board

Gov. Chris Christie’s latest tirade was remarkable for its lack of substance.

He lambasted Democrats for spending more money, even though none of the bills he cited have even been heard in committee, meaning that Democrats haven’t spent a penny. And some of the demon bills are sponsored by Republicans.

But all that fussing misses the point. The governor’s intention was to create a media stir that casts him as the guy who wants to cut taxes. And because he’s so damn entertaining and funny, it worked again.

This guy belongs on national TV, and it’s starting to look like that is more likely than a second term as governor.

While debates rarely impact the outcome, here comes Gov Christi on Meet the Press to announce that post debate on domestic affairs, the conversation will change next day and Mitt will be higher in all polls. That is just hyperbole of the lamest kind. He even suggested the shear stupidity of the American People for just now starting to focus. Like any good liberal would miss the Democratic Convention or any GOP persons would miss theirs. It should be fun television I suspect, but Obama already has my vote in the mail in Iowa. He will win here.
