Quote of the Day
August 28, 2008
" But things change fast. At the party convention four years ago in Boston, the same unity was expressed for Gov. Jim McGreevey’s reelection. A month later, he was history. So the ambitious are circling in Denver, keeping their eyes, and their options, open. They’re hosting parties, shaking hands, going out to lunch, playing golf. And there are two scenarios they are watching on the horizon.
Scenario No. 1 is that Corzine never runs next year because President Obama (who has already been elected, didn’t you hear?) asks him to join his Cabinet.
Scenario No. 2, which isn’t even whispered even though everyone thinks about it, is that the 84-year-old Lautenberg cannot finish his term because his age catches up with him. 'No one’s challenging Frank Lautenberg, but they’re all checking his blood pressure when they shake his hand,' one party insider said." -- The Record columnist Herb Jackson

Someone Else is qualified for the job and is a good person with high approval ratings.
Definitely not Desperately loosing Hillary!
That's for sure.
The most respected Democrat in NJ is
Bill Bradley. Hands down!
Bill Richardson
I predicted here that Bill Richardson would be the nominee regardless of who won a long time ago and I stand by that prediction.

Alfred E. Neuman for V.P.
New Jersey politicians are off the radar this round. You can thank Jon Corzine and the State's DNC for that!
Hussain Obama's Veep
Obama's perfect VP is John McCain. It would satisfy the New World Order that manipulated both parties to give us these defective candidates.
DINO & RINO, What a country!! Makes you want to puke.
Actually, Bob Barr is a great choice for the disenfranchised Republicans and Ralph Nader a great choice for the disenfranchised Democrats.

someone else
Though I admire both Bradley and Clinton, I don’t see what either brings to the ticket that isn’t already there. The growing narrative in the Obama camp seems to be to bring on someone with foreign policy heft (former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Jones, for example, or N.J.’s third senator, Joe Biden); but whether that happens remains to be seen. Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius seems to be a dark horse darling for the v.p. slot, but Dino might be right about Richardson and his viability, even though he is a less than impressive speaker.
An Unaffordable Bill
Bill Bradley has an established pattern of pork-barrel spending.
In his 1984 Senate re-election, Bradley campaigned vigorously against pork-barrel spending (specifically the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, a 234 mile canal which cost $2 Billion).
Then in 1987, Bradley (overriding Ronald Reagan's veto) voted to spend New Jersey tax dollars to pay for Massachusetts' Big Dig (a project that took an already existing 3.5 mile interstate highway and relocated it under the city of Boston - at a cost of $14.6 Billion, or over $4 Billion per mile).
I do not know which is worse, his being a spendthrift or his being two-faced.
Thanksabunch, Bill.
Smart Pick
PA Gov, Ed Rendell
