Yet another reason the Christie thing ain’t happening. With the glow of reelection, endless media love and before the intra-party savaging has even begun, he tops all 2016 Republicans in the Northeast but in no other region in the country.
Several times since September I’ve mentioned the new publishing platform we’ve built at TPM.

In what was apparently his final interview, Lou Reed (a notoriously catenkerous, sometimes nasty interview subject) took an opportunity to f*&k with one last interviewer.
