23. Two years may be a long time, but it's a lot shorter if Christie winds up resigning...

This reminds me of the Rowland scandal. Everyone (on the R line) said it was nothing, including Rowland himself.

His opponent in his last election said, I believe on election night, that Rowland would not only not finish his term in office, but wouldn't finish it "at large", meaning crimes were committed. A few months later? Resignation, prosecution, plea, and jail time.

Don't forget what Buono said over the weekend - Christie won't serve out his full term, and I know she wasn't implying that he'd be elected President.

As a public servant, one can't do this type of thing for years and years and not get caught eventually.
