Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

Who for Governor in 2009?
You know, We need a Governor (D) or (R) who is not connected to the North or the South NJ Non-Elected power brokers, money-men, You all know what I mean. We need a person who is clean, a virgin in NJ politics, no baggage and who will stand up and say it like it is. Here is the rub, this honest fellow probably would not make it on the ballot for either party. I know when I vote it will not be for the Do-Nothing Corzine, or for any Republican who makes the list and as for The Congressman from Camden, forgetaaboutit, he is a loser and simply a puppet of Norcross and gang. It's too bad, New Jersey politicians don't know how to run there own state. I am a nobody, maybe I will run for Governor. Here I am everyone: Joe "NOBODY" for Governor, a real guy with the guts to cut state worker hours to three days a week, consolidate all school districts into 21 school districts, 21-county police departments, 21-county fire departments, an so on from there, and most of all cut property taxes to not more than 2% of the assessed value of a person's first home where they vote and finally, allow casino gaming beyond Atlantic City to compete against Philadelphia, by allowing gaming in camden and gloucester counties and at all horse race and auto race parks. Joe Nobody" for Governor
Chris Christie is Not going anywhere.
Christie would be cited for conflicts of interest and would make his trophy wall suspect. His only claim to fame are his indictments and convictions and if he runs, many will be appealed as prejudicial. Get real; it ain't happening.
He would have to resign now if he wanted to run. If Republicans are pinning their hopes on Christie they well be let down again.
Governor '09
Someone has to emerge who is not going to bash the other side. Both R's and D's share equally in the mess. Unless someone comes forward who is going be bold and start offering solutions, it will be Corzine again and 4 more years of the same crap we've seen for the last 25 years.
Will someone please run on a platform of solutions rather then political or personal attacks.
Solutions:
Found a website called "Solutionsfornewjersey.com" Former state senator seems to be doing that. Some controversial ideas, but it is solution based and not bashing anyone. Also has a forum page. Interesting.
