TRENTON, N.J. (WPVI) --
Much of New Jersey is now under a blizzard watch as forecasters continue tracking a major snowstorm.

Forecasters on Thursday canceled an earlier winter storm watch after assessing the potential for winds and visibility. The blizzard watch is in effect from Friday night through Sunday morning.

While campaigning in Chester, New Hampshire, Governor Chris Christie told reporters, "The lieutenant governor is there and she is handling things on the ground there. If I needed to go back I would, but at this point it is too speculative to know."

That's right, Chris - NJ is just fine without you. Full of yourself bowhard.

[Feeling the Bern]

1. Translation: Fuck you NJ, you're on your own unless I can make a photo op out of it.

[smirkymonkey]

22. That's exactly it!

He's such an idiot. He doesn't have a chance to become the republican nominee, and now he is throwing away whatever goodwill he ever had with his home state as well. What a fool!

[Chakab]

2. I can't wait until the indictment comes down on this obnoxious prick.

[wordpix]

17. Me, too, and it can't come too soon

what a horrible prick

[rjsquirrel]

3. No really

He can stay out.

I constantly hope he has a heart attack on stage. On camera.

Fucking incompetent bully.

[cynzke]

4. Unless There's a Bridge To Close Down.....

Don't Bother Me!"

[BumRushDaShow]

11. The way this storm is being described

it'll be LIHOP on bridges - the ones going to the barrier islands cities and towns up and down the coast. Particularly since there's a full moon and the tides will already be running higher than normal.

5. I really really want him top go down in flames during this primary process and then...

be frog marched into a Federal court and charged with the massive corruption he has committed in NJ. I wouldn't mind his Democratic collaborators being charged as well.

[MBS]

6. Wow, classic. n/t

[deminks]

7. There is a history here

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/chris-christie-under-fire-for-disney-world-vacation-during-blizzard/

maybe even a pattern. And not in a good way.

[bklyncowgirl]

9. Yeah ironically Jersey Fats was on his way to being a one term wonder after that

It was his performance during hurricanes Irene & Sandy that won him that second term. Guess he doesn't care about us any more. He can't appear in public any more without getting booed.

I hope voters in NH & Iowa have the same contempt for Politicians who won't do their freakin jobs as we do in the NY area.

[PatSeg]

15. And his response to Sandy

was all for the camera. He left many people high and dry, and misused funds that were meant for victims of the storm.

[LiberalElite]

10. I remember that storm -

It was bad, "Northeastern" states notwithstanding.

[PatSeg]

14. Ah yes!

That was what popped in my head when I saw the headline. I remember him getting very testy when people criticized him for not returning to New Jersey when it was hit by a blizzard. A real class act that one!

[Vinca]

8. He hasn't given a rat's patootie about NJ for years. Why should he start now?

[Paladin]

12. Spectacular example of poor political judgment.

Christie must realize his campaign is over, by avoiding such an obvious photo opportunity. He sure as hell didn't let that hurricane go to waste, a few years ago.....

[TeamPooka]

13. he just tweeted that he's going back to NJ for the storm so he was wrong againg. nt

[MissMillie]

16. Because his staff has proven to be so trustworthy in the past

/sarcasm

[wordpix]

18. His staff only does what the boss tells them

No trust involved

[rladdi]

19. NJ Gov Christie actions show the people of America what kind of President he would be.

He had been absent from the state for many crisis in the past. He is not taking responsible for the state and the safety of his people.
