rand paul had this to add. >> i know how angry i am when i'm in traffic and always wondering, who did this to me? >> chris christie's political obituary is being written, chris christie, himself, doesn't seem to understand whiquite the magnitude of this scandal. >> i'm enormously flattered that folks would talk to me in their party as someone who they think could be a candidate for president. i'm absolutely nowhere near beginning that consideration process. >> that was today. today. during the press conference christie convened to try to explain the breathtaking political payback scheme that was apparently engineered from inside his own administration. it is this context with a massive abuse of power scandal exploding around him that chris christie say s he is, gosh, flattered. chris christie is still convinced republicans think he might be their guy in 2016.
