So I gets another fundraising email from the committee about how they are going to do great things to stop Christie.... and by the way, a few $$$ will help us control the bastard.
We have the most unpopular governor ever, I replied. They and the unions have the mechanism to write, distribute and present a recall petition. "If you and the unions do something positive and constructive by organizing and filing a recall petition, I will contribute."
Until then, they are as useless as my left nut.

(11,175 posts)That they're now trying to raise money by painting themselves as bravely opposing Christie is unusually hypocritical even for politics.
They can't retroactively make up for it by taking your suggestion of a recall petition. To put recall on the ballot would require more than 1.3 million signatures. Buono, in her valiant campaign against Christie in 2013, received only about 800,000 votes. Even if recall petitioners magically got 1.3 million signatures to call a recall election, and even if Christie were recalled, there would then be no special election. Instead, Christie's term would be completed by his hand-picked Lieutenant Governor, Kim Guadagno.
Even if the New Jersey Democratic Committee started braying about a recall, I would dismiss it as one more cynical political ploy. They know it ain't happening.
Info about recall from MSNBC and from a blogger.

She hasn't signed the no tax pledge. She may want to run for her own term.
