Morning Miscellany

First: Solid economics explained well from guy running for Senate. Gosh, just think of what it would be like to have a guy who knows what the hell he is talking about representing our state in the US Senate. Crazy.

Next item: Chris Christie's poll numbers are sinking because Jerseyans don't like hearing the bad news that they are bankrupt and the MSM is hammering the Governor's "tone" and "style". (Interesting tidbit, Christie chalks it up to a classic New Jersey immigrant love story of yore [click the youtube clip].) Anyway, for all the putative distastefulness of Christie's tone, that "style" of his won't let the elitist punks across the river in New York dismiss and steamroll over the Garden State in their effort to steal all the limelight from the decision to hold the 2014 Super Bowl at the Meadowlands. "Geographically challenged." It's not comedic genius, but it certainly is just clever enough to steal a PR beat on the nasal intonations of Michael Bloomberg and the simply pathetic David Patterson. Jerseyans can be rightly proud that their Governor is going to milk this event for all the PR value it is worth to their state while keeping New Yorkers in their relative place.
