I agree with you. I believe i said it would run it's course pretty quickly. It has. The investigation will happen, and if anything is found, it will start back up again. This is how everything is covered, despite claims by some that things didn't get coverage. It'll basically vanish from discussion until something worth of a front page comes out.

Default The leopard doesn't change its spots, apparently...

I came across some interesting information regarding Christie's political tactics when he was involved with the Student Congress at The University of Delaware. The similarities to his campaigning/governing style in NJ are...amazingly similar.

Pallone's comment was clearly misleading. Since when is the lowest bid the only criteria for selection of a contractor.

Dems are showing their ignorance or their unmitigated confidence in the stupidity of the electorate.
I think both parties have done well at showing their unmitigated confidence in the stupidity of the electorate...and that confidence is often proved correct.

Raising taxes even back then? Send this to Dead-Squirrel-on-the-head Rand Paul!

As president, The Review praised Christie for his efforts to expand the commencement ceremonies and establish a student activity fee. However, the paper also contained hints of the rougher side of his leadership.
