re: #348 Gus

I think holding this special election was the right thing to do.

I think he could have appointed a Democrat to serve out the term and that would have been fine, but it would have been political suicide for him so he’s have the election instead— but it may still be political suicide.

I dunno, Christie’s a weird dude in a weird situation. He really wasn’t, pre-Sandy, a very cross-the-aisles or bipartisan guy, any more than he had to be. I don’t know if Sandy was an actual wake-up call for him or he’s just positioning himself politically.
