What may seem to many as a small inconvenience to some drivers may end up costing the Republican Party its rising star a chance at becoming the next president.

The basic story is that Governor Christie ordered the closing of several lanes on the George Washington Bridge last September supposedly as an act of retaliation against the mayor of Fort Lee, NJ (the town into which the bridge empties) because the mayor would not support Christie in the gubernatorial election. The bridge is operated under the authority of the Port Authority, an agency which is run jointly by New York State and New Jersey and it is believed Christie is closely involved in his state's decisions regarding the agency.

By ordering the closing of the traffic lanes (starting on the first day of school after the summer break) the traffic became a total nightmare in the area. It is believed this was all done to make the mayor look bad. Christie claims to have no knowledge of these plans but he has fired his assistant this morning (alleging she was responsible for this).

Should be interesting to watch the fallout from this.


This sound like a big conspiracy SC? I think Christie wouldn't care about the Mayor of Fort Lee or is there something about that town or him that has any clout?
