I'm watching "All In" with Chris Hayes and she looks like the cat who ate the cream. Good for her...who deserves to enjoy this more?

She didn't even support her own party's candidate and he left a decimated town with no support. This guy is a dangerous monster and everyone who tried to stop him was punished and their constituents suffered.
OK they aren't heroes but I can understand why they believed that they had to play ball or their towns and districts would severely feel the pain.

(20,450 posts)have fallen for this man. We see the truth. Democrats who don't live in Jersey see the truth. My father and brother who lived in Jersey for most of their lives are fooled by Christie. So, what, then explains all these other coward voters so easily duped by this guy?

I had a conversation with a woman who was liberal leaning who said something revealing. She told me that she wanted to vote for Buono but she didn't know anything about her and no one else seemed to know either. The Democrats did not campaign at all and your average uninformed voter only heard the constant drum of the pro Christie machine.

(20,450 posts)Christie story non-stop, but the polls are still giving Christie a pass. The people are still on his side. So even when the information is there, people still turn a blind eye.

(9,494 posts)The Dems in the State Senate are waiting to see if the witch is really dead before they pile on. The Rebublicans in the Senate hate him already. He tried to strip Tom Kane's son of his power as the Rebublican leader but he failed. They are waiting to tear him to pieces. The Pukes hate him more than the Dems! Once his empire starts to crumble everyone in the State will wake up like Sleeping Beauty after that kiss.
