Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi will be the opening acts for Obama’s concert.

Finally
A Boss from Jersey Christie can't go after...
Two Fools
Bruce and Bon...two fools once again backing a loser candidate...how low will these two low lifes go to sell their albums and concert tickets?
Jersey Boys
they're the best spokesmen for New Jersey.
Forget Corzine, Menendez, et al.... Bruce and Jon Bon Jovi are all we need.
Proof New Jersey voters are idiots
See Mr. Democrat post...
Bruce and Bon Jovie...
they have the one thing you need to be a Democrat in this state. LOTS OF MONEY....to pay all the taxes. Just makes me nervous to think that if Obama wins he will bring New Jersey style economic policy to the national level.
Just one man
I'm sure he's a new jersey voter so I guess his statement is correct. Really, don't you just love those idits who refuse to accept the will of the people at the polls, when it doesn't agree with their position. Thank god we are a democratic republic where the will of the majority rules.
vet1948
"democratic republic where the will of the majority rules" ???
By the lack of intellect in your post you must be a NJ voter...Before you pontificate read up on your history and polictics you have no clue what you are talking about.
The Dumbocraps in Trenton are there to serve,
1. State Employee Unions - responsible for running this state into the ground
2. Teachers - who cry for less work and more pay and deleiver failing scores
3. Mayors resposible for running Camden, Trenton and Newark into the ground.
4. Any minority group that says boo...
I wish Bruce Springcrap and Bon Jerky would write some songs about that...
