Does Camille like to debate too?
By Wally EdgeWhen he was a U.S. Senate candidate, Rob Andrews was a big fan of debates -- and so if Dale Glading, the Republican who wants to succeed him in the House of Representatives. Glading has called on his Democratic opponent – who for now, at least officially is Camille Andrews, the wife of the outgoing incumbent – to join him for a series of six debates. Glading wants the first one in June. But there’s no sign that Camille Andrews shares her husband’s affinity for debating; her campaign manager, Benjamin Parvey, hasn’t returned calls seeking comment.

That Camille Andrews even has a campaign manager is the real shock here.
What's she need that for?
This guy has the best job in world, I think.

people probably thought the same thing about brendan gill 6 months ago.....
Glading & Andrews in CD1
The Rob/Camille Andrews/CD 1 Democrat scheme is a joke. When will enough voters wake up, stand up and say ENOUGH of these games? Good for Dale Glading. He seems to be a decent, honest person who truly wants to serve the people of the first district. That's way more than you can say for the Andrews clan or the So. Jersey Dem machine. Glading deserves serious consideration by every voter in that district, regardless of party affiliation.
Wouldn't It Be Great if it Turned Out That....
.....Camille Andrews chose to tell Norcross to "stuff it" and to run on her own and by herself.
She would not need to take a single penny of PAC money or dirty money from anyone to win in November.
She would actually be free to vote as she pleases unenumbered by anything other than her obligation to her real constituents! (and, yes to some degree, somewhat "encumbered" by the shameful campaign of her husband.....but what better way to redeem the family name!).
Who IS Camille Andrews? What does she stand for/believe in? How is she different from her spouse on the issues? Does she even really want the job???
If all she would be is a sock puppet for her husband; then she really should give it up and let Norcross appoint a different hack; that person would be easier to primary in 2010.
On the other hand...

It would be nice-but Rob's political future depends of the George Nrocross blessing. Rob goes back to the House
