I think governors care more about re-election than what they should of done instead of what they did do... this has been proven many times over... it is not something that is unusual or uncommon... its crazy to think otherwise...
Yes, but when you do the right thing by the people you represent, you get re-elected.
I think they have done a tremendous job trying to prepare. Nothing wrong with getting ridiculed for being too prepared then under prepared. What do you guys think? Even some Govs. that I don't like have done a great job IMO.
I'm not the biggest fan of Christie, and I think he's doing a good job. Today he sent buses to the highrises in Atlantic City where seniors refused to evacuate, saying on TV he will be sending people to speak with them, that they can't force them to move, but that they will try to persuade them to let them take them inland to a shelter with beds, food and water. LOL, yesterday he was yelling, "GET OFF THE BEACHES!!!"
98% of Cape May County evacuated. 95% of Long Beach Island evacuated.
Doing the right thing? Doing the right thing also involves knowing better than overdo the right thing which then becomes a wrong thing...
I hear what you are saying, but I live here. I think they are doing the right thing regardless of politics. Only leaders are prepared, the rest are followers...

They should have done what nagin and gov blanco did before katrina....sit on their brains and then blame Bush.
Typical lefties.
There was plenty of **** up to go around after Katrina. I agree the Governor and the Mayor should have been better prepared. That still doesn't mean the federal government couldn't have been a little bit smarter to get water down there and ready.
People in Biloxi were getting help the next day, Brownie was doing a heck of a job, in mississippi.
Casting blame on someone else to deflect it from your own faults is pathetic, regardless of who you are.
I think they have done a great job.
Have to say this, though.....I didnt hear our own Governor say diddley when Irene was lurking off the FL coast, and I was glued to the news.
