Christie will have ZERO problem getting re-elected. The people of this state are behind him because he chose his first targets well.
Christie will be up to it in his eyes in next election . He might get elected, but the people with $$ are leaving the state in droves. He can be a master of the feudal farm.
Christie ran the length of his campaign on a single-term governorship. He knew damn well that slash & burn would insure no chance of re-election, but would allow him to deliver on the hard remedies NJ needs to get turned around.
New Jersey voters are notoriously fickle. The Dems have a congential majority. The cops and teachers are out to get him, and as soon as the average resident finds out some of the cost cutting steps ate inconveniencing him or her, they will turn on the guy who is just trying to clean up the mess others have started.
Remember, ONE of the reasons Christie won was because of the Norcross/Corzine versus Lesniak/Codey feud. The northern New Jersey Dems didn't drag out their customary voters and bogus votes because they were ticked off at Norcross and Corzine.
I hope I'm wrong, but afraid I'm right.
