Corzine endorses Clinton

This endorsement by our Leadership will make the Obama victory all the better.

The fact that the Governor could not get more state Dems of prominence to join this endorsement shows a weakness in the Clinton campaign in NJ. While a representative bunch, it is clearly not the laundry list I am sure Hillary would have expected since she is the senior senator from neighboring NY (remember, most Republican leaders in NJ have already lined up solidly for Giuliani). This is only good news for Barack Obama, coming off the heels of reports that Obama runs better head to head against all Republicans nationally than Hillary does. And just wait until the first quarter finance reports are made public for Obama. Sources say it will come close, if not surpass Ms. Clinton. Ronald C. Rice

Everyone knows how expensive running television campaigns in New Jersey can be. If Obama has raised the projected $20+ million that some say he has, he'll need to use a lot of it to overcome Hillary's established record and popularity in NJ. Despite her sometimes off-putting demeanor, Hillary is the only person with the qualifications and experience to lead on both the domestic and foreign policy/terrorism fronts. Just for the record, Councilman Rice, last time I checked Chuck Schumer has been serving in the US Senate a lot longer than Clinton has.  Someone in your position ought to know who the senior Senatory from NY is.  Obama is a charismatic and intelligent person, but just may be therapy for the Democratic soul. We don't need someone telling us what a great nation we can be again, and how we need to be "purple." We need someone with backbone, maturity, and a record.

Besides wife of a President and her blind support of a war that has polarized this country what exactly has she done that qualifies her to be President. The sad thing about this early endorsement from Corzine is he didn't even give Obama a chance yet African Americans in this State gave him 98% of their vote. Thanks John we know you are looking out for us first you abandon Urban Education now this.

I hope he does not come to Newark looking for support.

What you have written is exactly my point when it is popular to go to war she votes yes when it is popular to get out of war she disagrees with the way things are going in Iraq. How is that leadership? it was wrong to go to war against a country that did not attack us in the first place. She and many other Senators knew from the gate that the intelligence reports they where receiving where stretching the truth yet she followed the mood of the Country and the right wing hack war mongers that she complains about. Now you call that experienced leadership, then it is leadership that I can do without.

Obama for president if you got the Odasity to believe in a better Country.

I will tell you a story though, We did interviews of all the presidential candidates at our Board meeting in DC in January. I came prepared with a bunch of questions for the candidates when it was Richardson turn to answer questions I decided to ask him a war question that I had saved for Hillary since his speech was centered on the War. In short he had this fantasy plan about a diplomatic solution and that one day we will be able to pull out because the Sunni's and Shites will be kumbayaing around the camp fire in the future. So I asked him did he know the difference between a Shite and a Sunni?, which he didn't Then I asked him how can there be a diplomatic solution to a war that has been waged between to religious sects since the death of the prophet? In short he bumbled the answer and pretty much agreed with me that I was right and they will never get along. I didn't have time to ask him another question but my next one would have been why give a speech on a solution that you yourself is not confident of being the correct one?

First thanks for the correction I make mistakes like this often when I am rushing. Now why wouldn't you believe me? I am telling you he did not know the difference. You were not there doing the questioning I have no reason to lie on Richardson and even if he did know the difference his solution to the problem was weak to say the least.
