There was literally nothing New Jersey governor Chris Christie could have done in trying to deal with the Senate seat now vacated after the death of Frank Lautenberg that wouldn’t have angered someone, but he pulled the trigger today and the result was an October special election that no one is happy about. Rachel Maddow thought Christie’s attempt to keep the special election away from his own reelection in November could only mean one thing: he “chickened out.”

Maddow first showed clips to remind viewers of Christie’s “tough guy” image, contraremarking on the oddity of scheduling the special election for a Wednesday in October.
