. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/kbm9fyu . .Without the scandal-engulfed New Jersey governor, Republicans dont have a candidate who could even come close to the votes needed to win the presidency in 2016.
.Well, well, well, today is an interesting day: its Chris Christies re-inauguration day. It was just two weeks ago, a little more, that this was going to be a day of shimmering triumph. I was just reading this CNN dispatch, from January 6, that talks about how the governor is planning on starting his day at a black church (whose reverend presided over Whitney Houstons funeral) and ending it at Ellis Island. Theres nary a word in it about bridges and subpoenas.
.Back then, today was supposed to be the official beginning of the slow and ineluctable ascent to the White House. He didnt have to do or prove anything in this putative second term. Lose a little weight, maybe. But otherwise, he was on the glide path to the GOP nomination, not that Rand Paul and others wouldnt have something to say about it, but the party establishment and most of the big money all set to gather around Christie and make sure that he didnt have to spend too much time crossing swords with the crazies.
.Now? Things are a little different, arent they? I trust youre enjoying the Christie panic among Republican establishment types as much as I am. That New York Times story on Sunday, with big boosters like Home Depots Kenneth Langone fretting publicly that he really must surround himself with better people (so its their fault!), combined with the cable damage-control efforts by the likes of Rudy Giuliani, really shows the extent to which the party big shots have been counting on Christie to save them.
