Ruff-tuff Joisey guy Chris Christie, man o'the people and blossoming Beltway mancrush, once canceled a project to build a new railroad tunnel connecting his state to Manhattan. This tunnel was designed to make the daily commute suck a little less than it does. Christie chloroformed the project because he has a helicopter and what the fk does he care, anyway?"

(9,298 posts)Plenty of time for more damaging stuff to come out. But forever in my mind is the photo of Christie screaming at a teacher. It perfectly captures who he really is....a raging bully.

(13,877 posts)inner-party left-"centrist" rift, we'll skate all the way to 8 years of progress and 16 years of Democrats in power. Maybe we can get the House back in, dare I mention 2018, elect a real veto-proof Senate and a couple of reasonable SCOTUS...Justice Warren sounds mighty fine.
2013 carried very good election results. On the way to 2014 I think it will hold. Gov McAuliffe (warts and all) with a record-breaking Virginia meme of opposite party always in VA Gov, beats Gov Cuccinelli (19th Century) all to heck, for one.
