U.S. SENATOR CORY BOOKER. His allies could make a strong case for why he should edge Christie in the number one slot. New Jersey's governor took a shot at president and stumbled into the political abyss. But Booker's still in a good spot to take a well-timed stab at the White House. His national stage standing easily puts him at the top of the heap in his home state.

7. Bridgegate. Samson’s guilty plea was the opening act for one of the most-covered political stories of 2016 in New Jersey: the Bridgegate trial. In that case, two Christie appointees (former Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni and former Christie Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly) were found guilty on nine counts of conspiracy and related charges for misusing Port Authority property as a way to enact political retribution against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie for re-election in 2013. While the closures happened three years ago in 2013, the trial renewed public interest and attention on the case. Now, the case is in limbo as defendants pursue a re-trail or acquittal.
