endorsement race
I must say....the Booker/Healy team that's heading up the Obama effort seemed to have missed the boat in the endorsement race...Hillary is cleaning up, and although Edwards only has Codey so far, that's still a big "get."
 And will Obama ever come to NJ, or has he given up on the state already?
Hooray for Hillary
Hillary is the Republicans best chance to keep the White House. Go for it Hillary!!!
Right on, PoliticsSJ!
That is also what I have always believed. I would love nothing more than to have Hillary be the Democrats Presidential nominee.
dream tickets
I can see it now Clinton and Obama Vs Giuliani and Rice even as I dream folks, we are still way to early in the game. Did no one learn anything from the Dean bandwagon parade?
