Will Chris Christie go big, tap Geraldo Rivera for Senate?
Yahoo News (CSM) ^ | 6/4/2013 | Peter Grier

In January, Geraldo Rivera said he was thinking of running in 2014 for Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s seat. Now, after the senator's passing, Gov. Chris Christie has the politically perilous task of naming a replacement.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) needs to pick a replacement for the Garden State’s Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died Monday. As many pundits note, this is a task that’s fraught with political peril for Governor Christie: Pick someone deemed too liberal by conservatives, and he damages his presidential chances. Pick someone deemed too conservative by Democrats, and he damages his standing in his own blue-tinged state. What’s a shrewd, popular governor to do?

Two words: Geraldo Rivera. Or as the mustachioed news crusader would probably say it himself, Geraldo! Rivera!

Christie is up for re-election, so he’ll weigh his options carefully.

He was afraid of pissing off someone by making a decision. He’s a coward.

He did not “punt” by calling a special election. This decision undeniably assists Democrats. It is what Democrats wanted.

I'm already figuring that pig Pork Porkie will tap a liberal.
It's New Jersey. It doesn't matter.
The morons will stick their "kick me" signs on their backs and elect a scumbag liberal the first chance they get, anyway.

"What difference does it make?!"
