Christie might keep his job, but he won't be moving into the White House.
There are alot things about New Jersey that are hard to imagine.
Maybe there is a place for Scooter in a Rand Paul cabinet?

Gov. Blagojevich, meet your new cellmate, Gov. Christie. And no, you don't get a bigger cell, just scooch over.
I've been thinking about this ever since this story broke and I can't remember a corruption case in Coloradothat comes anywhere near this kind of thing. I remember a few years ago there was a study on ferreting out corruption in government and the biggest one they could find here was the Supercop scandal back in the 60s. Are politicins more virtuous here or just more clever abut not getting caught?
Can't type! "Colorado that" "about"
Wasn't prett much every top official in Adams County being indicted for awhile?
Hey, what have you got against Quality Paving? At least the commissioner and other officials had the good sense not to take bribes from Crappy Paving!

True that, David. But I've always thought of Adams County as a an island unto itself. I hate to say it, but the corruption up there started with the Teamsters in the factories.
Different culture I think.
I haven't lived in NJ but spent ~10 yrs in Chicago and I suspect there are similarities:
Densely and long-time settled (even the farmland) with intensive and widespread govt infrastructure and resources means there is serious money in play. The two (or one)-party system is heavily institutionalized and integrated with governance–they lack our tradition of libertarianism. Local political organizations have long histories of alliances and feuds; power is passed accross generations. So political cronyism is built into the system. And there is a level of tolerance from the population that a certain amount of govt corruption is to be expected as the cost of doing business (not to mention its entertainment value). And hey, if it gets your street snow-plowed faster than the next ward, what's the problem?
When I read this line, quoted above, "Now, he is a liar, a bully, a buffoon," I thought I was in this thread. A challenge to keep the lying, bullying, buffooning Republicans straight!
