Remembering Freddy Caraballo
By Wally EdgeSteve Adubato’s alliance with South Jersey Democrats against the rest of the Democratic party leadership in the 2008 U.S. Senate race is ironic, considering he dumped Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo for doing essentially the same thing in 2006.

Quote of the Day
"The confidential agreement with Riccio completed in September and recently exposed by The Star-Ledger of Newark should spur U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie to assign top staffers to uncover the whole story before Christie leaves office. Corzine's settlement is another attempt to sweep the problems from his overlapping personal and public life under the rug. Christie should pull the rug out, and soon." -- An Asbury Park Press editorial run in this morning's newspaper, apparently unaware that Christie's last day was Monday.

almost as ironic as Sarlo
almost as ironic as Sarlo being mad at Loretta for supporting Sweeney for Majority Leader because he was from South Jersey and then alinging himself with Andrews against Bergen County Resident Frank Lautenberg. In addition Andrews election would end the chances of Bergen County Congressman Steve Rothman to win a Senate bid.
Sorry, but haven't you heard...
Caraballo got screwed!
Freddy was a great Legislator. I think he'll resurface in public life (in some capacity) again.
Oh Boy I thought Fred Carabello was dead!
Change the headline
Caraballo to smart for NJ Legislature
Caraballo's intellectual capacity is wasted upon the pension enhancing empty suits lining the halls of Trenton.
Adubato got what he wanted; a thoughtless shilll who will do what they are told.
