I predicted that the death of New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg would set off a series of power struggles that would make “Game of Thrones” look like Candyland. But there was one wild card I failed to mention…All the political pundits assumed that being a Republican, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would appoint a Republican replacement for the late Democrat Frank Lautenberg and give the GOP one more seat through 2014. Now, Republicans are steamed at Christie for scheduling an early special election this October. He says he wants to let the state’s voters decide. Critics say he doesn’t want the Senate race goosing Democratic turnout on the regular Election Day, when he’s up for reelection. Some critics say Christie is putting his own reelection prospects ahead of party loyalty. Of course, that’s UNHEARD of in politics! The political arguments and bad blood will no doubt rage on, but I’m going out on a limb to make a prediction: Chris Christie will do..whatever Chris Christie wants to do.
