Welcome Gov. Chrisite

Being an avid supporter of Jon Corzine, I think he is finished by picking Loretta Wienberg as his candidate for LG. She is an angry person who is not looking out for the citizens of New Jersey. If she is the candidate for LG running with the Governor, I am not voting in the is election. We will see more corruption, just wait.

Welcome speaker DeCroce

on the Titanic didn't save that ship either.

No doubt it will be a tough race; but I am confident that you and Jon Corzine will prevail!!!

Congratulations also to Jon Corzine for having the wisdom to choose a real reformer to be New Jersey's first Lieutenant Governor!!!

Hearing this wonderful news makes me proud to be a Democrat!!!

Let's ROLL!!!

picks yesterday ...Loretta was the last man ...er woman standing

If you're (really) a Democrat, you should be able to tell us what you like about our party...and why you believe it should prevail over the Republican ideology.

Then, if you have a problem with Weinberg that is so overwhelming that (you claim) will cause you to sit out the election.....please share it.  Make your case.  Be specific if you can.

There's nothing "angry" about Weinberg!  LOL

She's objectively Righteous and fights for justice and against corruption.  If that agenda troubles you then it is you who should re-examine your assumptions.

Weinberg is a good and decent person who wants only the best for New Jersey; I dare say that even Chris Christie will not dare to publicly challenge that statement.

This is a tough one. My prediction is still Corzine 48%-Christie 43%. Republicans have no real ideas how to significantly lower taxes. And IF they win it is only by default. Both parties are hurt by yesterday's sting.
The bottom line is taxpayers lose.

1. Corzine has to compensate for a likely lower turnout in Hudson with a higher turnout in Bergen.

2. Buono is ethically challenged.

What makes you think Corzine has any chance at all of winning, let alone by 5%? Both parties were hurt by yesterday's sting? Really? Every single person arrested was a Democrat, except for one. If Corzine wins, it'll be by squeaking by with a victory smaller then 1%.

The reality is that the chances of Corzine winning are incredibly slim.

All the big names floated around and now he ends up with a party outsider. South Jersey bosses are not happy with this mess and want Corzine to step out of the race.

But Lento, are you kidding? Let's ROLL!!! ??? You can't be serious?

Corzine is not inspiring the rank and file, many who are out of work.

The only dems at this point looking foward to this are the campaign consulting firms who are going to make millions off Corzine.

Christie is in the drivers seat now. He will run a smart and winning race, no major slip ups, and staying on message.

let's see how honest she is and whether she fesses up as to how that was not the only slush fund and whether she fesses up about the Homeland Secutiy funding scandal she watched unfold without opening her mouth.

question... Why are Corzine, Weinberg and Buono not in the forefront of this corruption investigation, if they are honest and looking out for the best interests of the citizens of New Jersey? Also known as TAXPAYERS!

I figure there will be a very low voter turnout. People are disgusted with both political parties. Democrats do have an edge because they outnumber Republicans. And I suspect Indepedents will stay home.

Mr. Christie's LG pick doesn't help him at all and possibly even hurts him among his own party. Governor Corzine's pick most likely helps him, at least with his own party.

As I have been saying all along, there was never any choice but Loretta...even before the s--t hit the fan. She has fought the corrupting influence of pay to play for all of her career. The Governor could not have made a better choice. Now, let's all settle down and get the job done.

Corzine doesn't need any "consulting firms".   If he plays that kind of rote DCCC type game, you're right...he will lose.

Corzine needs actual votes from individual people!   That means connecting with the real people of New Jersey most of whom aren't even registered and voting!   No amount of money can equal a man putting his heart and soul on the line for the people.   That's what ex marine Jon Corzine will have to do.  Pollitically "dance like no one is watching".   I know he has it in him to rise to the occasion!

Corzine will have to dig deep into his own gut and make the choice to run as a populist progressive.   What the machines think of him at this point is almost irrelevant.

Machine politics in NJ is on its way out in BOTH parties.  What happened yesterday was that the tip of an iceberg became visible.  There's much more work to be done!!!

Corzine has an opportunity here to kick some serious ass.  Christie is a target rich zone.

Christie is as much a political hack as anyone in the Ferriero BCDO ever was.

Christie bought his job with Bush by raising funds.  No pay....would have meant no play for Christie.

Christie is a fraud who tells Republicans he's conservative and pretends to be liberal when trying to appeal to Democrats.

Christie gives his ex BOSS a 52 MILLION dollar NO BID plum contract!   And has the unmitigated gall to say that he doesn't even have an "apearance problem".   Hell if that deal doesn't appear dirty on its face Peter Cammarano is innocent of all charges!

Corzine happens to be in office in the midst of a massive global/national/state recession.....it's understandable that many folks who are hurting would take a look at any opponent.

The problem for Christie is that the closer you look at him the less you like what you see!

Further, Christie is all over the lot on policy, he needs to put some flesh on the bony skeleton he calls his policies.  

The man is trying to sit on a lead by pandeing and pretending to be invisible......that's a hard thing for anyone to pull off let alone Chris Christie!!!

All Corzine/Weinberg have to do to win is take off the gloves and challenge Christie head on in matters of SUBSTANCE!!!   Of course Christie will try to frame it that "they're being mean to me those angwy nasty peepuhl"   and portray any substantive fact based challenge or questioning of his record or his lack of any really thought out spelled out policies as "attacks".

Christie is a bag of hot air that will be eventually be deflated.

But PC517, I do have to say you are right about the consultants....they tend to be (on all sides) greedy purveyors of the "popular wisdumb".   They sure as hell didn't help John McCain much eh?

Jewish Liberal ticket with an Anti Freedom agenda.
One must look at the economic and social disaster in Teaneck ( cops being laid off ) in Weinbergs home town and ask how many more Rabbis with Gucci bags , Body Parts and envelopes of cash does it take for them to totally distroy the state of NJ ?

at 74 I think she is way to old and tired we shouldn't be resurrecting politicians of the past.

 Loretta Weinberg? Never heard of her? Am I supposed to care? 

The up-the-chin shot is not  typically a flattering for jowly old men.

how anti-climatic

called her " Ernst Borgnine in drag"
This should make for interesting campaigning

LOVE IT!!! Thanks for the humor!!! We all will need to be laughing during this election. Funny though isn't, that the sting happened the day before the Weinberg announcement?! Now, that's funny - sad- but funny.
