Who is this Chris Christie?! If I had known he was going to do and say things like this I'd have supported him more aggressively in the election. And if he survives his term as governor (I sincerely hope his security is first rate) then at the rate he's going he'll have my support when he wants to go to Washington too.
Scott Brown is a wishy washy left leaning Republican who is Genghis Khan compared to the guy whose seat he took, but more and more Chris Christie is looking like the real deal. He may look like an extra from the sopranos, but I'm actually getting to like him.

To the democrat that worried about property taxes and Sierra Club guy about commuting costs: I am a property tax paying daily commuter. I am OK with it. Infact, we prefer that the taxes and spending trickles down closer to us. We can control our spending and upto some extent our local government. It is state and federal spending that we dont have a handle on.

I was making a similar point earlier today. People would flip out (turn fiscal conservative) if they actually had to cut a check for each individual service out of their gross pay. Tea parties and townhalls would explode.
Tom--I like this guy. Reading you before the election kept me on an even keel though. Your points re the limits of state power/unions had me a little worried, but this is awesome.
