EDGEWATER, N.J. -- A traffic jam orchestrated by members of Gov. Chris Christie's administration and responsible for days of gridlock in northern New Jersey appeared not to cause poor medical care or leave critically ill patients dying, according to a comprehensive review by The Associated Press of emergency dispatch audio, call logs and interviews.

The lack of life-or-death consequences reflects good fortune, not good planning.

Christie would have a better chance running as Hillary's VP pick.

No point him picking a losing candidate.

That could win. They elected Bush Cheney, then Obama Biden. The American electorate is that stupid.
