32. I love the way Kornacki handed Mika her head in that exchange...

When Mika said she would taken the Sandy money, he said "then YOU would have caved."

The one thing I wish Kornacki had pointed out was that Dawn herself admitted to him that she probably should have stood up to the Lt. Governor. She is feeling remorse for not doing so, for better or worse. So I see her in a very human position, trying to do the best thing for her city.

I wish more could have been said about the fact that Dawn said that to go along with the Rocekfeller Group's project would have exposed her (and the city of Hoboken) to legal troubles down the line. Then of course the Joe and Mika's would have trooped in saying she wussed out...Dawn couldn't win...
