It would have been akin to a bank robber being sentenced to a minimum 10 years in jail, starting to serve their jail time and then having the sentencing statutes changed to a minimum of 15 years and having 5 years added to the sentence.  The defense lawyers would have had a field day with it and the sentences would have been overturned and these folks would have been released.

Boss politics and intimidation running amuck in Republican primary process.

As a Republican and former New Jersey State Senator, I have been following the "anointing" of Chris Christie with a great deal of interest.  It has been over a decade since a Republican was elected state-wide and ironically the similarity is spooky.  That person's name was also Christie and as far as Republicans are concerned, her gubernatorial tenure left the Republican Party in New Jersey in disarray.

Given the complete control of the governor's office and both houses of the legislature, Christie Whitman had a golden opportunity to do a lot of party building.  Instead, it seemed and has been accepted in most political circles, that Christie Whitman's political activities were aimed at her own political agenda and rarely focused at party-building.  Given the name of her book, "It's My Party Too", there is a great deal of irony.

Now we see Chris Christie as the clear front runner for the Republican nomination due to an incredibly stellar job as US Attorney for the Southern District of New Jersey.  It would be foolhardy for anyone to question the job done, 132 convictions and 0 acquittals: masterful to say the least.
