Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi will be the opening acts for Obama’s concert.

Proof New Jersey voters are idiots
See Mr. Democrat post...
Bruce and Bon Jovie...
they have the one thing you need to be a Democrat in this state. LOTS OF MONEY....to pay all the taxes. Just makes me nervous to think that if Obama wins he will bring New Jersey style economic policy to the national level.
Just one man
I'm sure he's a new jersey voter so I guess his statement is correct. Really, don't you just love those idits who refuse to accept the will of the people at the polls, when it doesn't agree with their position. Thank god we are a democratic republic where the will of the majority rules.
