His name was repeatedly floated for veep. I doubt he resisted the notion.

True, they are all waiting for the ‘experts’ to show up.
Never let a crisis go to waste. Work goes to the collectives of the red-tape-brigade.
Lou Christie’s son?

A bit late since some non-union assistance is already back in their home States. Also wouldn’t put it past the union thugs to sabotage/attack non-union workers who actually put out some heroic efforts to get things done. Katrina was so many times worse than Sandy and we had power back in my area (less than 2 miles from the Gulf, hous with 3’ of water in it during the storm, and on the outskirts of any municipality, in 4 days.
He had no aspirations at the national level; like Giuliani, he fits a very speciic niche. When was the last time we had an obese national candidate in the age of television? I’m not knocking his weight, but in the age of television bald, fat, or otherwise “imperfect” (in the eyes of a TV nation) candidates don’t have much of a chance.
The problem is that Christie may have risen above politics and if he did... that is admirable. I remain unconvinced. However... I am convinced that obama NEVER puts aside politics and I also know that Christie knows this.

“His name was repeatedly floated for veep. I doubt he resisted the notion.”
He very publicly resisted the notion.
I’ve seen him fend off questions about his weight from reporters; I can’t see him wanting four years of that on a national level. The fact is that he is a solution to a local problem.
Imagine if everyone drove electric cars - think about that scenario.
Christie was doing what he was elected
to do. Governor of NJ. The other 49
states is someone else’s problem.
Unions smell per-Christmas overtime and screw over their neighbors. In a related story, Chritie is fatter than ever.
too late dipstick
He smelled federal money and lost his freaking mind
Just click on Verizon Strike on the rt. utube sidebar.
same guy.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Chrissies finished.
Don’t think so, jersey is so smart they can’t see Crissie’s BS for their NJ BS.
The IBEW did demand these Utlity crews join. Christie knows it. He’s blowing smoke at “us” trying to recoup the bad publicity from this NJ union crap.
They deserve what they get.
There nothing that shows this is from Jersey. As a matter of fact I heard those a;while back during a strike in NYC, con ed I think. The guys voice was very familiar, and there’s no way they’re going to use scab like that here. No one is taking anyone’s job. Hannity got punked and heard what he wanted to hear. This audio is bravo sierra.
Well it looks like you’ll get to keep him, his chances of a national office are toast.
Yawn, he's done, he should have dissolved by force all locals that interfered in any way with disaster relief and stated that the state would hold members collectively financially responsible.
They have put up with no heat, no gasoline, no showersyet they get up each morning to do their best in the face of utter devastation
(Great post in its entirety, not just the part I excerpted.)
Sounds like you have two fine sons.
Even the Mafia and the unions know better than to piss off millions of Jerseyans.
Ain't that the truth! =o)
If the power is still out in Lakehurst it includes the NAVAIR base. I suppose they're out helping with relief and restoration efforts anyway.
