John McCain's New Jersey campaign held a news conference today to announce the endorsements of "current and former New Jersey Democratic officials," but with disappointing results: George Fallon, a former Mayor of Waterford; Joan Haberle, who served as New Jersey Secretary of State during the first half of Jim Florio's governorship; and Dawn Rafferty, the former Executive Director of the New Jersey Real Estate Commission under Governors James E. McGreevey and Richard Codey. Rafferty is Haberle's daughter.

If Joan has about 800,000 more kids she can swing to the GOP column, McCain might stand a chance in New Jersey.
sounds like some heavy hitters
Obama better pack it up now. he may slide .00001 off of his 51% plurality. the bigger question, was anyone sober that put out that press release?
LMAOOO
What were they too afraid to ask the numerous Bergen County Hillary Democrat Mayors who refuse to vote for Obama? Guys C'mon!
NJ getting ready
to stamp on and sweep away those pesky

I give it two weeks before Obama campaign implodes!
I give it two weeks before Obama campaign implodes! Yes, you read it correctly. The present economic crisis has turned into a full blown recession. There will be massive financial losses across the board with the broken government guaranteeing phantom credit so the businesses can continue its activities. Meantime, what has Obama/Biden campaign done? Sen. Obama has upped his anti-Bush rhetoric, despite the fact that he supported the Bush’s bailout plan. During his two presidential debates Sen. Obama has repeated his slogans from the campaign without offering any plan of action. Somebody should tell Sen. Obama that the USA is in a historic financial and economic crisis that will get worse before it gets relatively better. Sen. McCain has offered a bailout of foreclosed homeowners with government guaranteeing mortgage buy outs. Sen. Obama response two days later is to ridicule the plan laying blame on the Wall Street. Somebody should tell Mr. Obama that it was two weeks ago that we blamed the Wall Street. Now we are scrambling to rescue everybody else before we all go under. What are Sen. Obama’s plans for this weekend? He has plans to have two day fundraising bacchanalia in Chicago led by Ms. Oprah where the entrance ticket is sold for over $30K (thousand). It is distasteful in a present economic environment when millions of Americans are losing houses, losing jobs; many more millions are threatened by the recession. My question is who those people are paying for these tickets. Is this the middle class that Sen. Obama has been talking about during his campaign? I am sorry, but I have not seen more disconnected politician from reality than Sen. Obama. I have to add to it the Democrat-led Congress that betrayed our confidence in its ability to deal with any sort of crisis. Our tragedy is that it is unable to even admit to its impotency and its role in the present crisis. I am asking all voters in the USA to vote all these who betrayed our trust out of offices on November 4th. We need a steady and experience leadership that will put the country first before its own selfishness.
There are more of us that you know
I've been a democrat all my adult life, but I am voting for McCain. Obama is hiding something that is not good for this country. I don't want to find out what it is after he gets into office. He has a huge ego, creating his own logo and putting on his plane and removing the American flag? It is scary.
obama
Anyone who thinks obama will not sweep nj has their head in the sand. This country is bleeding to death and the blame can be laid squarely on the most incompetent administration DC has ever seen. The last eight years have been a disaster and no one want's anymore. And you can bet your bottom dollar (if you have one left) it will translate to a Democratic sweep at all levels. So all you republicans that are going crazy because obama is going to be president I say this: Look in the mirror you have only yourself and your president to blame.
Bush & Bergen Freeholders
Bad for every taxpayer - I'll trade Obama in as President if we get rid of all the Bad Dems in Bergen & NJ.
NObama
Well, Corsi's proof that Obama violated the Logan Act AGAIN with his blatant support for mass-murderer Raila Odinga certainly will sink the Obama campaign along with the fact he cannot prove he is a US citizen (reference DEMOCRAT Phil Ber's lawsuit). Obama might not even make it to election day.
PoliticsSJ and WIEL
are living in lala land. McCain is a Lousy candidate and running a lousy camapign. He better thank his lucky stars for Palin, she's at least keeping him on oxygen. What happened to McCain after the primaries? it was as if he just got good and tired and sat down, tried to coast to the convention and the Palin announcement and just lost his way. The old Mccain would be leading my 10 points, this new guy is just gross.
Vet1948
I guess you still have Shell Shock problems but of course in 1948 NOTHING was going on.
And for you MORON the Democrats started ALL this financial mess starting in 1992, you remember that year don’t you and they have been in charge for the last two years, you Dumb Ass.............
So stop blaming Bush, the only complaint I have with him is that he sided with the Stinking, Lousy, Crooked, Communist, Socialist Pigs called Democrats.
Remember, if you can, Clinton gave us this financial mess and 9/11 so I hope your sorry ass is around to see the end of this country if Husane Obammeeee is elected.
Oh and by the way Obammeee has been a Senator for only 140 days and for that this country wants to elect someone that will surely destroy it.
Rome is Burning and it is US…………

America's wake up call?
Some are finally waking up to the reality that the PC feel good "change" Obama likes to talk about is simply empty rhetoric. Our jobs, homes, children's future and retirement are all on the line here. In these dangerous times, what we need in the Whitehosue is an experienced leader who can make real world decisions without the public opinion poll or political correctness filters. The more people I speak with, the more I hear realizing that John McCain is by far the better man for that job. Let's just hope the wake up call hasn't come too late.
