It took less than 10 days for our first big political scandal of the year to hit: Chris Christie’s revenge. Bridgegate.Whatever you call it, as we try to understand what happened – and as the New Jersey State Legislature and U.S. Attorney’s Office do the same – questions about Gov. Christie’s temperament and management ability. Is he fit – emotionally and skillfully – to run our country? What does this mean for the Republican party and, of course, the 2016 Presidential race.And then there’s Congress. With midterm elections on the horizon, another key member announces retirement. How might this affect the campaigns and the ultimate balance?Joining me to discuss New Jersey, Washington and beyond: Chuck Todd, NBC News' Chief White House Correspondent and Political Director, as well as Host of “The Daily Rundown” on MSNBC.
