"Bait and Switch" in the Race for [NJ] Governor?
"Bait and Switch" in the Race for Governor?Only article I have ever seen about this!!
When you cast your vote on November 5, 2013, if you vote for Chris Christie you are not really voting for Christie at all. You are actually voting for Kim Guadagno as the new “Governor”. While formal announcements have not been made, political committees have indeed already been formed. Christie has not – and if he plans to run for President can not - vowed to complete his term as Governor if re-elected.
Taken together, one need not be Sherlock Holmes to see the evidence that, starting at 12:01 a.m. on November 6, 2013, Chris Christie will be running for President of the United States.
That some citizens may think that this is a good thing, some citizens may think that this is a bad thing, and most citizens probably do not care one way or another is not the issue. The issue is that, while Chris Christie will be out of State virtually full-time campaigning for President and attending fundraisers in Iowa and New Hampshire and other places, who will actually be running the Executive Branch of New Jersey State Government on a day to day basis?
Sure, Christie will be getting paid to run the State Government, but who will actually be running the State Government?
The answer to that very important question is Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, still a complete unknown after almost 4 years in public office. What do we know about Kim Guadagno, a relative newcomer to the political scene?
