" In case you missed it, Scott Raab, an Esquire writer at large and New Jersey resident who has covered the Port Authority for years, has been chronicling the ongoing Chris Christie saga for the Politics blog over the last few weeks. Below are some of Raab&amp;#039;s reasons that Christie is a dead man walking. 1. &amp;quot;Chris Christie&amp;#039;s ongoing support for David Samson, chairman of the Port Authority Board of Commissioners, is a death grip for both of them.&amp;quot; 2. &amp;quot;Watching Christie snarling at schoolteachers to score style points as a straight shooter, I also saw a bully -- a predator unable to contain his loathing and anger.&amp;quot; 3. &amp;quot;Thanks to Chris Christie -- and to Andrew Cuomo, who has silently allowed Christie to swallow the Port Authority whole -- the safety of the World Trade Center rests in the hands of the same loyal troop willing to wage secret war on New Jersey commuters for the sake of their patron king.&amp;quot; 4. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all here: possible subornation of perjury by a Port lawyer who was both a failed Christie state Supreme Court nominee and a former colleague from the U.S. Attorney&amp;#039;s office when Christie ran that show; multiple connections between the Board of Commissioners and PA &amp;#039;land deals&amp;#039;; the misallocation of PA funds as payoffs or punishment by the governor.&amp;quot; 5. &amp;quot;Chris Christie is hardly the first governor to use the Port Authority for funds. But no other governor in history has been quite so greedy.&amp;quot; 6. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not hearing from Rudy, Mitt, or anyone else any version of &amp;#039;I know Governor Christie, and the Chris Christie I know would not knowingly have been part of such a thing.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; 7. &amp;quot;After losing an endorsement from New Jersey&amp;#039;s biggest newspaper, Chris Christie has been sashaying from town to town like some corrupted beauty queen.&amp;quot; 8. &amp;quot;For Christie to survive his second term as Governor, many people -- all with careers, families, and dreams of their own -- would have to fall on their own swords. Such people may, in theory, exist. None of &amp;#039;em worked for Chris Christie.&amp;quot; 9. &amp;quot;Follow the money.&amp;quot; Read Raab&amp;#039;s entire series here.
