By comparrison, he looks pretty good out here in the People's Republic of Oregon, where the democrats swept to a significant majority in the house and senate and, of course the governor's office while they were being swept out across the rest of the nation. They are now busy passing a law, stopped in the recent legislatures where one chamber was split 50/50, that makes it illegal for me to even lend a gun to a friend to use for a trip to the range without a background check.
Our guardian of democracy, the Oregonian news paper, then began printing articles about corruption and influence peddeling in the governor's office, involving the governor and his 20 years younger girlfirend/First Lady. They knew plenty about it before the election but waited to be sure a democrat was elected, so his successor would be sure to be a democrat.
There's a lot to like about living here but we're not well served by virtually perpetual one-party rule who completely ignore the rural areas, except to pass laws about predator control and other things about which they are completely ignorant. We have one county that is down to only the Sheriff - that's right, no deputies. A woman was raped and beaten by an ex during the 45 minute response time. They stopped virtually all logging on state land and then let them whistle for revenue.
Christy is a professional politician, but at least you guys have SOME balance in your government. I do agree that he should have kneed Obama in the nortons when he hugged him - he made a bjg mistake and missed an even bigger opportunity.
