Hack Inadvertently Tells the Truth
By Christie was elected governor of New Jersey last year after giving voters no more than a glimpse of his plans for the state. The reason was simple. Had he laid out his sweeping agenda of spending and tax cuts, he’d have given Democrats an inviting target. They surely would have tried to scare voters away from Christie, and it might have worked.
What you have to particularly like is Barnes suggesting that it would be some kind of dirty pool for the Democrats to point out that Christie was, in fact, the kind of asshole who would kill a desperately needed transit initiative as part of a program of tax cuts for the rich funded by cuts for the poor and middle class. Making your policy positions explicit would be so undemocratic!
