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.

Still, nice to see the non-elitist McCains mixing with the common folk.
Where's Obama??
Hasn't been here since pre-primary. He's hobnobbing in Honolulu instead. At least McCain comes to NJ.
McCain's plan for N.J.
John McCain's plan for N.J.:
-Keep N.J.'s national guard troops, about half of which are deployed or soon-to-be deployed, in an endless war in Iraq. Invading Iran may folllow, so keep your national guard and volunteer army ready, N.J.!
-Build oil wells within 100 miles of N.J.'s shore. Nevermind that none of the oil will represent any savings for about 15-20 years, and it would be neglible at that. Nevermind the repercussions to tourism and the environment of any oil spills.
-Criminalize any and all terminations of pregnancy, pre or post-conception. I've voted against women's health care issues my entire career, and that's going to continue in N.J. Abstinence only sex ed programs, N.J. That's what I support.
-Change the state Constitution to ban gay marriage. I support a similar measure in Arizona. Either you're a heterosexual family, or you're not a family at all. That's why I'm against gay adoptions, for example.
-Give tax breaks to the wealthiest 2% of New Jerseyans. Deficit, be damned! If you're middle-class or lower-class, well, you're just out of luck, pal.
-Eliminate all federal assistance to the state, even if its merited, thus increasing the need for localities to gain more revenue via property tax increases. In my myopic vision of government funding, any and all government "aid" to states is "pork."
Martin is at it again
Norcross's favorite hand puppet Martin is at it again. Never did McCain ever say he wanted to drill off New Jersey, his only view was the State should make that decision. This is foreign to Martin, being a puppet for Norcross, Adler and his favorite Mr. "Illegitimate Kid" Edwards, he cannot think for himself.
