Former Vice President Al Gore with Roger Chugh, the former Assistant N.J. Secretary of State
Former Vice President Al Gore will attend the New Jersey Democratic State Conference in Atlantic City next week.
"Vice President Gore recognizes how important this election is to the future of New Jersey and to working families for generations to come," said Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (D-Union), the Democratic State Chairman. "He also has first-hand experience with how far the National Republican Party will go to obstruct positive change in Washington. Republicans have their sights set on New Jersey as a way to bolster their party and stop President Barack Obama's bold agenda for change."

great plan...not
Cus ya know, Al Gore is going to help Jon Corzine win the election. One of the biggest hypocrites in America working to help the biggest gubernatorial failure of our generation(maybe our history).
Clueless Cryan
Hopefully Al is there to talk about how he invented the internet and is single handidly helping global warning with his 3 homes and private jet.
Possibly Cryan will be spreading lies as he has through the entire campaign. One would figure that he would be more careful, especially with the packed closet he has.

IMPEACH - Pallone, Pascrell, Holt and Sires
Our esteemed congressmen voted to support Acorn...the organizatio that has been proven to be responsible for money laundering, child prostitution, illegal alien smuggling and voter fraud!
Impeach these idiots!
And by "bold agenda for change"....
Assemblymn Cryan means:
skyrocketing deficits,
record unemployment,
trillion-dollar government-run health care
taxpayer-subsidized bailouts for Wall Street
ACORN stands for (literally) politics in the gutter!
Shut "lowest common denominator" ACORN down and take out the thieves!
It's great to know that James Keefe who went under cover to find out the truth about ACORN...is from North NJ and he is a proud Rutgers graduate!
The only thing
that could help the Christie campaign more than a visit from Al Gore would be a visit from Michael (who the hell is he?) Dukakis. MAybe the Democrats will do more dumb things than the Republicans this time around.
