Which, to me, sounds like the most responsible and fair-minded non-political thing to do..

I'll check it out. I'm almost out of the woods in terms of other projects distracting me, so I'm trying to get better about answering comments here.

Not sure how well it's gonna be received as it comes across as blatantly arrogant....

Even for me. :D

But it would definitely make me less ...er.. prolific around here as it would serve to take a LOT of wind outta my sails... :D

Looks like Christie went with the "name a flunky who will warm the chair until the election, but not run" option...

Seems fair to me. It's what the Delaware gov. did a while back (when Biden became veep? I forget the circumstances). Name a seat-holder, but then let the voters decide.

Hay, you check out the latest in last weeks FTP??

You gave me the idea.. :D

Michale

Yeah, right after I wrote this I read another article that said the GOP was annoyed with him, too.

While I do understand your sentiment about "must be doing something right," if I lived in NJ I'd be annoyed about the extra $12 million the election's going to cost, for no reason other than self-serving politics.

Yea, and it sums up the Left's attitude as well..

"Ho hum, so we track journalists' emails. Big deal. So, we accuse journalists of being Co-Conspirators. Yaaawwwnnnn.. So we target conservatives and illegally release their donor info. Who cares. So we assassinate American citizens without due process or any oversight whatsoever. Big Yawn."

Yea, that about sums up the attitude of the Left AND the Obama Administration.

What's so interesting to me is that, change Obama to Bush, change Holder to Gonzalez or Ashcroft, change Rice to Cheney or Powell and ya'all would likely have died already from hysterical conniption fits..

Don't bother denying it because the FACTS of it are well established...

Once again, the power of the almighty "-x" rears it's ugly head...

Lawyer: I cite the case of Michale vs Michty6 as precedent.
Judge: Yeh but if the precedent said to jump off a cliff does that mean we should do it?!
Lawyer: ...

In other news, this pretty much sums up the 'scandals' of the past few weeks for me: http://www.mattbors.com/blog/2013/06/05/calls-on-holder/

To which the ONLY common sense response would be:

"If every single Governor jumped off a cliff, would you do it too???"

:D

Michale

;)

In all seriousness this is really a stupid issue. He should've just appointed a Republican and if asked why say 'because almost every single Governor in the past has appointed a member of their own party under these circumstances'.

Well, if Christie's plan pisses off both Dems and GOP then I guess it's the right way to go.. :D

Sounds like my kind of guy.. :D

From the lists I've seen a couple of the more likely candidates include State Senator Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth) or State Senator Kevin O'Toole (R-Essex)

-David

i think he'll pick a republican who will run. the guy may go out of his way to act principled, but he doesn't seem to care much at all about being polite.
