The AP does a follow up on the recent corruption busts in New Jersey. Talk about a fever pitch, but will it make a difference in a state where Republicans generally run and serve like Democratic-lite? One hundred and eight isn't the number who have been charged in five years. It's the number of convictions in what all but amounts to a one party state. None of those recently charged have even bothered to resign.
The arrests shook a state already suffering from an overdose of political corruption. Christie noted that 108 public officials in New Jersey have been convicted of federal corruption charges in the past five years.
And given that Republicans, particularly conservative ones, show so few signs of life in the Garden State, a state Ronald Reagan carried twice, don't look for much to change any time soon.
