Now that we've seen
the emails from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's staff ordering crippling lane closures in Fort Lee after the town's Democratic mayor refused to endorse Christie's re-election campaign, here's a thought: We may finally know the real reason Christie didn't campaign for Mitt Romney in the final days of the 2012 campaign—retribution against Romney for passing him over for the vice-presidential nomination.
It's either that, or there was a big effing storm and Christie needed to work with President Obama on recovery efforts and didn't have time for politics, because he isn't the kind of guy who plays petty political games.
Except now we know he is that kind of a guy.
You can take your pick as to which story is true—or maybe there's truth to both of them—but I think we already know which one conservatives will believe. It's the one they've been telling themselves all along.
