Let's hope that this is the nail in the coffin of those Christie 2012! rumors.

http://www.businessinsider.com/new-jersey-is-downgraded-by-fitch-hurts-christ-christie-2011-8

Lights out for Chris Christie.

Today there was buzz about him possibly jumping into the race, but that's over.

New Jersey just got its credit rating downgraded by Fitch from AA to AA-.

It might not be a big deal, and it might not be his fault, but this should probably kill any buzz about him running for President right now, given that THE DOWNGRADE is expected to be such a salient point of attack for any eventual GOP nominee.

Prior administrations in New Jersey engaged in flagrant SEC fraud. What took them so long?

It can be hard to gauge tone over the internet, but you sounded ebullient.

Business Insider should stick to what it knows, because it sure as heck stinks at commenting on politics. Especially when the downgrade is directly related to the bad economy, which any GOPer will argue is a problem caused -- or at least not fixed by -- Obama.

I think whoever wrote that thing did it one-handed.
