The Rise of Chris Christie, Governor Wrecking Ball

Just what New Jersey needs

Mr. Tracey's all bent out of shape about "Governor Wrecking Ball." Apparently, he's blind to the plight of those states—California, New York, et al.—governed by those more suitable to Mr. Tracey's tax-and-spend outlook. Governor Cristie is exactly what New Jersey needs, and I say wreck it—the lavish spending, the teachers union stranglehold; wreck the whole rotten structure. Other states facing similar fiscal disaster should be so lucky as to have a "Governor Wrecking Ball" of their own.
