New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said in an interview published Monday with Yahoo News that he plans to learn things from the bridge scandal, he's just not sure what they are yet.
"I will learn things from this," Christie said. "I know I will. I dont know exactly what it is yet that Ill learn from it. But when I get the whole story and really try to understand whats going on here, I know Im going to learn things."

"Like I got hit across the forehead with a 2x4," Christie said of his state of mind after the emails became public.
Yahoo's interview with Christie was conducted Friday, before new allegations leveled by the mayor of Hoboken, N.J. that his administration tied Hurricane Sandy aid in her city to a real estate project linked to one of the governor's allies.

Willi Cici: A what?
Senator Pat Geary: A buffer. Someone in between you and your possible superiors who passed on to you the actual order to kill someone.
Willi Cici: Oh yeah, a buffer. The family had a lot of buffers!

According to the poll, Christie's favorable rating among Empire State voters has dropped from 63% in November, around the time of his landslide re-election victory, to 49% now, with his unfavorable rating jumping from 25% to 39%. Much of that drop comes from Democrats and New York City voters, with Christie's numbers among Republicans and downstate suburbanites remaining strong.
"Christie's image with New Yorkers particularly Democrats and independents has hit a major speed bump," said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.
<...>
Two months ago the Republican governor trailed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 16 percentage-points among New York State voters in a possible matchup in the next presidential election. Now Christie trails Clinton by 28 points. And in a hypothetical showdown with Andrew Cuomo, New York State's Democratic governor, Christie trails by 20 points. In November, Christie had a five point margin over Cuomo.
