STUDY: CHRIS CHRISTIE'S NEW JERSEY LEAST ECONOMICALLY SOLVENT STATE IN U.S.

More bad news for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. As he tries to survive an explosive corruption scandal and stave off a federal audit on use of Hurricane Sandy funds, a new study ranks New Jersey the least economically solvent state in the nation.

George Mason University's Mercatus Center released a working paper Thursday ranking the solvency of the 50 states by a number of factors--from "liquidity and budgetary balance" to "reliance on debt to finance current and long-term expenditures and ability to pay for essential services." They further subdivided the category of solvency generally into cash solvency, budget solvency, long-run solvency, and service-level solvency.

He must be scaring the pants off someone for them to start the political assassination so early in the game. I smell a hillary.

He's toast.Maybe if he bows out now and explains how he knows he can't be elected people might begin to like him again.Our freedom to decide who we want for President is overrated anyway.It wouldn't be if we as a whole chose wisely,but whats the likelihood of that happening?

8:38 you couldn't be more wrong about that. Christie won reelection with almost record levels of support.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer is the one who will find her career ending early.
She is making an ass out of herself and you will find her accusations unfounded.
She is clearly not very intelligent to think she had the clout to take on a presidential candidate.

Sit back and watch.
