Odd choice of words with the Christie "scandal" on-going.

That's exactly why those words were chosen, to illustrate that Christie's scandal helps Rand.

Strange to see the journal puff up Rand and take a slap at Mitch in the same instance. And surprisingly, this could be a bigger problem for CC than even I had originally thought. No wonder Rand has been having this array about himself as if he's walking on sunshine.

Joe Gerth is such a low level hack.

I foresee this hurting Crispy Cream for a few reasons:

1: A lot of his support is of the flaky, independent/liberal variety. They just like him because he's perceived as a winner, hugged Obama, and runs a blue state. For your administration to allegedly attack a liberal politican via proxy of bridge traffic, well that's bad mmmkay. The bridge issue doesn't help him with these voters at all.

2. Ads during the election can simply use cliches over and over again that say something like "He's either corrupt or incompetent."..."You may know a man by the company he keeps"....etc

He also has a massive history of this kind of crap. It's all detailed in that book about Mitten's election. This is just part of a trend. Also the fact that he didn't help Mitten's in his election will hurt his Republican support.

There are soooooooo many skeletons in his closet. Come election time, it will be ugly.

CC either has a level of pettiness and paranoia equal
to Richard Nixon's prior to the Watergate break-in
and Joe Gerth is very correct in all he has just said
or CC has a lack of leadership skills + ability evidenced
by a staff almost totally out of control acting as if
all is a total circus or zoo without consequences.
the wry swipe at Mitch McConnell at the end of
the piece is almost obligatory & quite predictable.
lets talk about crossing a bridge when one comes to it, yes.
