Living in NJ, Governor Christie's "Bridge-gate" scandal remains in our news cycle, but I am more surprised it remains in the national news. If the governor wasn't seeking higher office (potentially) this would have just died down as NJ politics as usual with the usual cronyism from the NYNJ Port Authority. I can't imagine that a farmer in Iowa cares about what happens here but what do I know, aside from I am getting tired of all the coverage.
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, I believe Christie had nothing
to do with the lane closings. However, I feel he has been less than
truthful as to when he found out and his relationship with Wildstein.
Minor stuff and I wouldn't be surprised to find out he was trying to
save his friends from their own stupidity, hoping nothing else would
come out. It's
not impeachable but the possibility of a coverup keeps the press
amused, which is fine to an extent (got to have a press that flashes sunshine in the dark corners where politicians do ill). At this point it seems like the
media has gone overboard looking for anything for a "gotcha" story.
No matter though, there was no way he was going to get the
2016 nomination for president in the current national GOP. He is too
"liberal" for that crowd.
