Christie’s record as US Attorney is pretty good, and he’s gone after corrupt politicians, which is a full time gig here in the NYC metro area. He’s gotten quite a few scalps, and has more support than Steve Lonegan. I don’t think he’s gotten specific on his policies, which is where Lonegan has been going after him.

It’s also gotten quite personal. Frankly, I think both of them are wanting, but Christie seems to have a wee bit more personal integrity than Lonegan. Lonegan strikes me as a gadfly type, and while he might have a good policy prescription here or there, he doesn’t strike me governor’s material. He’s got to prove me wrong.

Then again, anyone running for office against Corzine (other than Boss or Bacon) would be an improvement.

To tell you the truth, the best candidate for governor isn’t even running for the job. It would be Cory Booker, who’s currently doing quite well fixing up the mess that is Newark. I see bright things in his future (and yes, he’s a Democrat).

Thanks,

We’ve got an AG in WA Rob McKenna (R) that may have a future beyond the AG’s office. He’s done outstanding work on performance audit’s, so much so the (D)’s have slashed them of his budget.

It might give the Gov. seat a shot in ‘12 the AG’s office is where Gregoire came from.
