First - I'm wondering how he'll conduct himself. Will he act like nothing is happening? Will he be defensive in any way? Will he even acknowledge the controversy? Will he say that he fired additional staffers? Will he say that he'll cooperate fully with any investigations?
Second - I'm wondering how the press will treat the speech. I'm guessing that this will be the most well covered State of The State speech given by any Guv ever.
Third - I'm interested in seeing the reaction of his state legislators to his speech. Will there be applauding? Will he get any standing ovations? Will there be winces on the faces of them. How will that go down.
Forth - I'm wondering the reaction of the people of the State of New Jersey. Will there be any demonstrations outside the venue of the speech? Will we get to see televised interviews with New Jerseyites and their reaction to the speech.
Fifth - I can't wait to see the reaction and the responses by the Repug talking heads after the speech. Will they still be sticking up for him? Will they be sandbagging him? Will they continue to try to draw unrealistic parallels to President Obama and Hillary? Will we still be hearing from them Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious, etc.
Anybody know the details of when this speech will occur? Is it during the day or will it be in the evening?
Whatever - it should be good TV.

(62,325 posts)us warned, of him as a 'moderate' and Dem compromiser, a Rino, was not true after all. To them, he has performed beautifully, using his power to destroy Dems, never mind it didn't work.
Republicans LOVE to see their politicians take no prisoners no matter how corrupt and criminal their actions are.
And if he hasn''t angered any of the 'right' people, this story will blow over and he will be honored, Fox will help by praising him constantly for his 'stand against commies' and I would not be surprised if he doesn't run for president anyhow.
The unfortunate loyal staffers will be thrown by the wayside, accused of attempting to ruin him, or whatever it takes.
Some good could come of this if Democrats finally learn that supporting Republicans over their own Democratic candidates is going to anger the voters against THEM. But I won't hold my breath for that. Supporting Christie, offering NO support to the Dem Candidate, which she has confirmed, is just one more betrayal in a growing list at this point.
If Christie does not manage to survive, it will not be because of ethics or morals or anything so mundane in the political arena, it will be because he has upset some pretty powerful people for some reason.
If the Bush/Cheney war criminals got away with their crimes, anyone can in this country and this story will be yesterday's news in a few weeks.

(15,682 posts)how he'll handle the hecklers that are sure to have a place in the audience.
Will he be the loud mouth, bully/thug that up until now he's always been? Will he use his newly acquired bewildered and sad act? Or will he try to appear presidential in the way President Obama so naturally does?
Most definitely a popcorn event!!
