Quote of the Day

November 6, 2009

"Please. I wouldn't have enough paper. So let’s not even bother writing one.  This is now about governing. I won. The one thing I could never understand about people in politics was winners who are sore winners." -- Gov.-elect Christopher Christie, on putting together an enemis list.

“He’s a nice man with good intentions, but in the end he’ll be remembered for timidity.  Being a business titan and issuing orders from the corner office is a lot different than having to cajole and persuade people in politics and having the toughness and fortitude to see your vision become reality.”-- Ross K. Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University, on Gov. Jon Corzine.

-Christie: Star-Ledger, 11/06/09, Baker: New York Times, 11/06/09
