Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan today amplified news about next Wednesday's rally with President Barack Obama and a Monday appearance in Middlesex by Vice President Joe Biden by announcing an incoming procession of party leaders for Gov. Jon Corzine, including former President William J. Clinton, United States Congressional members Michael Honda (D-CA) and Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, and Caroline Kennedy.

Clinton will attend a rally with state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) next Tuesday afternoon at the Collingswood Ballroom in Collingswood; and a rally with Corzine at Rutgers University in New Brunswick on Tuesday evening.

Honda is scheduled to bond with voters at a Saturday, Oct. 17 Filipino American Heritage Month Rally in Old Bridge, a Chinese Americans’ Moon Festival Rally in Princeton, and a Korean Americans’ Harvest Moon Festival Rally in Engelwood.

Also campaigning Saturday, Sanchez will atrend an Elks Lodge brekafast event in New Brunswick, a Mexican Chamber of Commerce event in Passaic, a luncheon hosted by Assemblywoman Nellie Pou (D-Paterson) for New Jersey Latinas at the Paterson Museum, a meet-and-greet with Latino Small Business Owners at the Harrison Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Harrison, and a late luncheon hosted by Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D-Elizabeth) for New Jersey Latinas at a restaurant in Elizabeth.

Solis will brunch on Sunday with Pou and New Jersey Latinas at Schuetzen Park in North Bergn.

Kennedy and Stella O’Leary next Wednesday are scheduled to join Gov. Brendan Byrne, Cryan, Assemblyman Tom Giblin (D-Montclair) and Assemblyman John McKeon (D-West Orange) for a rally to simultaneously honor New Jersey’s Irish American mayors and Corzine at the Barclay in Belmar.

Joe Cryan must have another of those Corzine campaigns magic mirrors. He looks like he could stand to lose a good 40 pounds and Joe--- you look like you are jonesing for a shot or 2 or 5. What a shame....how did begging for the Speaker job work out for you? Clown

Biden - dumber than dirt.

Clinton - almost as corrupt as Corzine

Obama - Just a 49% approval rating.

Will they stay?

having Obama, Clinton, Biden come in for The Beard is nice---but sadly for us , they won't stay to govern. The liar who has occupied the state house for the last 4 years would continue to try and UNIVERSALIZE EVERYTHING---and in the process bankrupt NJ. He just doesn't get that NJ doesn't have the deep pockets to spend like he does.

Maybe while Clinton is in town, he can teach Corzine how to end an affair and not shell out 7 million.

Hope springs eternal....

What did Karen Golding ever see in Joe Cryan? She must have always been as drunk as Joe. He has some nerve making fun of Chris Christie and his weight. Joe, fat, drunk, stupid and bald is no way to go through life!

My Advice

My advice to Chris Christie: Go Libertarian, not conservative. Clinton is a DINO. I'd describe Obama as a Neocon. Lets hear some anti-government rhetoric from our Republican candidate.

The other man in the picture

Submitted by rbernardi on October 16, 2009 - 9:27am.

As Sen. Weinberg stated during the debate that none of the candidates running would be candidates for the bachelor/ette.

How about focusing on the other gentlemen in the picture in the red tie, former Lt. Governor from Rhode Island, Charles Fogarty (D) and the reason he was in NJ? Prior to the debate, Leadership NJ hosted a forum discussing the role of the Lt. Governor. This a new role and a very important one when one considers that in the past year
five Lt. Governors have become Governors.

Lt. Governor Fogarty discussed his tenure and how he served under a republican Governor. He was very interesting man and was gracious enough to sit with the WPC of NJ women during dinner and share his experience.

Attached is the broadcast and it was very interesting to hear the diverse experiences from each of the Lt. Governors.

In my opinion, there is more dialogue and work to be done to change how the transition of power works (eliminating the need to hand over power when traveling out of state in this day of technology) in addition to defining the responsibilities of the Lt. Gov. as we move forward with this new position.
