guest: well, it's interesting that you talk about chris christy.is profile is rising quickly in the republican party. he's starting to be talked about as a presidential nominee even though he's been there about a year in office but he is very popular in republican circles. but what else they think is interesting there is that you talked about all of the issues that had you concerned. that's exactly what we're seeing in this polling. this is what is giving this huge enthusiasm edge to the republicans. this is people who maybe have not been involved. maybe they're registered republicans but not involved in the republican party before. social networking has been a huge factor. to see something with michelle malkin that you can log on to a facebook page, it's been something that the democrats haven't quite known ho get their arm around. and with chris christy is so indick ti of what could be happening. we saw a big spiken republic turnout, a decline in democratic turnout and actually a little kind of an uptick in independent turnout. and that's the wav

falling dollar-- the most distressing piece of news to hit the tape the past week was governor chris christie of new jersey opting to stop work on a new rail tunnel underneath the hudson. the huge public works project, to be funded by the federal government, new york, and new jersey, would have put thousands of people to work. but that's not why its apparent spiking was so distressing. rather, the decision typifies the short-sighted attitude we have in this country toward infrastructure spending. ambitious, controversial infrastructure projects-- cutting a canal across upstate new york, or laying down railroad tracks through the rockies-- have frequently paid huge dividends. the erie canal opened the midwest for settlement, and made new york a center of trade, yielding incalculable returns on the state's $7 million investment. in an era of permanent budget crises, its difficult to justify big-ticket items. still, it's troubling that many officials take the attitude that hundreds of billions of dollars can be added to the deficit for the sake of keeping income tax rates at present levels, but

new jersey's governor chris christie is standing by his decision to cancel the country's biggest public works project. while it was expected to create 6,000 jobs, christie says his state would be on the hook for about $3.5 billion, and it cannot afford that. the tunnel was supposed to double the number of trains that can run into manhattan under the hudson river. >> tom: more corruption in small town california. four current and former officials of the city of irwindale are accused of spending $14,000 of taxpayer money on a new york city trip that included broadway plays and baseball games. the four, including a current city council member, were supposed to be in new york to work on getting a higher bond rating for their city. recently, eight officials from the nearby town of bell were accused of misusing $5.5 million in public funds. @% >> susie: with the nation's jobless rate hovering near 10%, the recession has created a whole new class of workers. they're called "perma-lancers," and tonight's "money file" commentator says it's indicative of the new "you're on your own economy." she'
