So now we know Gov. Chris Christie won't
be the one to succeed sports-talk radio icon Mike Francesa at WFAN. But
he'll still need a job when he leaves office in January.
In a statement Sunday, Christie said he bowed out of WFAN's search for Francesa's replacement "after considering the other options that I have been presented with for post-gubernatorial employment." (The New York Daily News reported a day earlier that it was the station that told Christie he was out of the running.)
During a news conference Monday, Christie declined to elaborate what those "other options are."
But here are a few possibilities:
Christie spent years as a lawyer and then New Jersey's U.S. Attorney before being elected governor in 2009. Political experts agree: Returning to that field — either as a high-paid partner or a well-connected lobbyist — is a strong option for Christie.
It certainly would fulfill his goal of making money after more than 15 years in public service.
"The governor was a talented attorney," said Ben Dworkin, executive director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University. "I expect him to join a major law firm — any number of which will be happy to have someone with his skills and network."
