I have season tickets to Blue Hens Football games at the University of Delaware. So does the new Republican Governor-elect of the State of New Jersey, which perhaps explains the foul odor and ominous feeling of doom I encountered at the last game two weeks ago. I kid. Seriously, I have no problems with Governor Christie coming to UD games next year as an incumbent Republican Governor. There, he is just a fan of the same team I am a fan of.
I do have a little bit of a problem with this political consultant from Philadelphia that is, for some inexplicable reason, quoted in the News Journal story.
“Look, when you win, you can do anything you want,” [political consultant Larry] Ceisler said. “Christie comes off as an everyman, sort of like [Vice President] Joe Biden. The only thing to watch for is whether [Delaware Gov.] Jack Markell will give him a police escort from the New Jersey border so he gets to the games on time.”
Well, no, you can’t do ANYTHING you want. We have laws, even in New Jersey. And no, Governor Markell better not offer him a police escort. If Christie wants a police escort he can use his own state troopers and explain that cost to his constituents.
That said, see you at the games Governor.
