Conservatives have little by which to be excited so far in the candidacy of Chris Christie. His promise to bring under control state spending with the line-item veto is not the product of serious thinking. As even Jon Corzine has said, New Jersey can't afford its own government. Plucking with tweezers at the mountain of waste that the Legislature has yet to produce misses the point entirely. Indeed, if the Statehouse dome collapsed upon them all and we were happily without a Legislature, we would still have programs and bureaucracies that need detonating.
