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.

Nerve of Joe Cryan
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
Desperate move by Corslime
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....

Weight Watchers
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!
BMI
please some check his BMI for fat content and better yet check his BAC before he gets behind the wheel.
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
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.
