Quote of the Day
September 8, 2008
"If they ever make a movie about Rep. Rob Andrews, there is only one actor to play the South Jersey congressman: Jim Carrey. In fact, the comedian already has done the needed research for a previous film: 'Liar, Liar.'" -- The Record's Alfred Doblin.

Nonpartisan?
I thought this PolitickerNJ.com was nonpartisan. How is it that there is just one posted column from the John McCain appearance and five separate columns (including 3 with video clips) from the Obama appearance? Is there anyone besides FoxNews that gives the right a fair shake?

This is sooo Funny
Wonder who remembers who after 16 beers, a joy ride and a fistfight. ?
Healy and Kennedy perfect together
rethinking that line of thought
This was said by a poster in earnest: "Is there anyone besides FoxNews that gives the right a fair shake?" Remarkable.
It is widely known that politickernj is a Republican-leaning site. Surely, any objective analysis of Wally Edge's posts would reveal his conservative leanings, from the whole "Hold Me Accountable" analysis of Corzine to his anti-Dennison posts to the multiple posts on state Republicans over Democrats, and the Republican articles on politickernj are published over Democratic ones by at least a 2-1 margin.
One could make the argument that McCain's crowd was 500 people compared to 4000 for Obama. One could also make the case that a Democratic candidate in a Democratic state with a primary that saw Dems outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 margin as factoring in the emphasis on Obama. And, of course, the articles on Democrats, don't counterbalance the many, many Republican articles on the site.
