2. This is the same bunch that did little or nothing to help Barbara Buono

That they're now trying to raise money by painting themselves as bravely opposing Christie is unusually hypocritical even for politics.

They can't retroactively make up for it by taking your suggestion of a recall petition. To put recall on the ballot would require more than 1.3 million signatures. Buono, in her valiant campaign against Christie in 2013, received only about 800,000 votes. Even if recall petitioners magically got 1.3 million signatures to call a recall election, and even if Christie were recalled, there would then be no special election. Instead, Christie's term would be completed by his hand-picked Lieutenant Governor, Kim Guadagno.

Even if the New Jersey Democratic Committee started braying about a recall, I would dismiss it as one more cynical political ploy. They know it ain't happening.

Info about recall from MSNBC and from a blogger.
