I can't think of a better reason to start a recall on Chris Christie. If he did know it was criminal and if he didn't know it means he has a staff that is allowed to run wild and do vindictive things without his knowledge. And even if he didn't know he didn't do anything for FOUR DAYS.

Recall time.

I'll gladly pay the $4 toll over the DMB again and again and again to help with a recall campaign!

1. Apparently, NJ Democrats considered it in August 2011

but decided against it because failure would strengthen Christie.

Perhaps they'll consider it again.

2. I think the problem with past recalls - there really needs to be a criminal involvement

I think that's why the Walker recall in Wisconsin failed (although we picked up some local seats). In the end Walker didn't do anything criminal, he was just a douchebag.

This time it is criminal - it might actually work!

3. A practical impossibility in NJ

A recall requires the signatures on a petition of 25% of the registered voters in the last general election. Since there about 5.2 million registered voters in NJ you'd need a petition with over 1.3 million signatures.
