Sixteen Democrats are on Norcross' short list for Andrews House seat

What about Wayne Bryant? or a fine fellow like Jeff Nash?

Or Vernon Hill.  I hear he is looking for work.

what's the "real" short list....this is a lot of window dressing.

Really hard to read the tea leaves here.

Why would a bright, articulate and accomplished legislator decides days before the filing to run? What was the motivation?

For Norcross the motivation is to move everyone up the ladder a notch for guy who's been in Washington almost as long as Lautenberg!

So much for change.

Obviously, Andrews could care little about his own congressional seniority and feels by challenging an incumbent (first time in NJ since Bell defeated Case in 1978), he must believe he can win the primary!

Andrews will carry Camden, Salem, Cape May, Atlantic, Burlington, Gloucester and Ocean counties. Things become more competitive as he moves north with Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer and Union (even though Lesniak is with him).

Without a Stack alliance in Hudson, can Andrews actually beat Lautenberg in Bergen with Rothman & Weinberg with the incumbent?

Or is this just a trial run for a real primary next year against Corzine?

Inquiring minds are confused.

Vote Column "A" - All the way!

.....good old scum-bag South NJ Democratic politics.....this candidate will be picked, paid for, and controlled by d-bag Norcross.

Dana Redd....Congresswoman. How could there be any other choice? The south nj power brokers are progressive. They look at all factors. Dana Redd fits right in. What's not to like?

Really, it's not who or who isn't on the list that's the news!  The questions are why does Norcross control the list and why doesn't any news media question or challenge his power?  Better question:  Where are the real Democrats?

Nick your correct.  Funny how Paul Moriarty started as an investigative TV reporter digging for crap like this and lo and behold, now he's made the short list of corrupt ambition homeself.  My how one's ethics can change when your the one who benefits.

 NO surprise union thug sweeney is on the list.

 Disgusting to even say there is a list controlled by someone who has never run for office and has no accountability to the public.   OF course a democrat. Once more, another reason to leave this state.

Apparently MoeGreene has been sampling the Camden crack he’s been speaking about.  Clearly he or she has never met Troy Singleton and has never heard him speak.  Troy would be a great congressman.  He’s intelligent, well spoken, and extremely hard working.    

Mr. G. Norcross has been an ally and champion for South Jersey politics, and until the North realizes that people will never understand the Democratic boss himself. Secondly, Mr. Lautenberg, though a patriot and one who deserves some praise, has done nothing then following the lead of Mr. Menendez. Mr. Lautenberg went negative on "Day One" of the campaign and showed he learned campaign tricks from Rove, Dowd, Cheney, and Bush Jr.

Seriously, Mr. Lautenberg questions Andrews' foreign policy and that is all. Well, Mr. Lautenberg where were you when the Iraq War vote was taken? Oh wait, you were in "retirement" from the United States Senate! It is very easy to say you are against the war without having the intelligence that Mr. Andrews, et al, had before the historic vote. Also, I would love to bring the attention to everyone that Mr. Lautenberg, in all his years and wisdom, voted for a bill in 1994 that would keep an embargo against Vietnam. Now that is judgment that I would love to continue to speak for New Jersey and the United States of America.

Menendez and Lautenberg have been staunch supporters of keeping a strict and strong embargo against the island-state of Cuba. Yet, any student of international relations would tell you that economic sanctions and embargos rarely work since they normally just hurt the people they are supposedly trying to help. Mr. Lautenberg, I have seen you on the Senate floor, I have watched you on CSPAN, I have read your statements, I have reviewed your bills, and I have respected you for years, but please you need to remember that you were a fill-in. Until the North realizes that Mr. Lautenberg was just a fill-in for someone who had promise, potential, and vigor then they will never understand why a change from Mr. Lautenberg is in their interest.

I would seriously love to ask Mr. Lautenberg questions regarding his policies regarding homeland security. He truly believes he has helped New Jersey become safer, but I seriously doubt that.

Please, citizens of New Jersey, do your homework!
