Ingle: Can you hear him now? Looks like the folks at the Delaware River and Bay Authority didn’t pay attention when Gov. Christie said enough of the open ended and unspecified pending commitments. So he vetoed their minutes, killing their plans. That was his second veto of the DRPA’s minutes...

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“To their credit, public officials today are very sensitive to concerns among the citizenry toward their accepting gifts. They want to avoid even the appearance of being influenced.” -- ELEC Executive Director Jeffrey Brindle, who announced yesterday that benefit spending by lobbyists on legislatros has dropped from $163,375 in 1992 to $9,728 in 2009.

Lonegan
all the way!!!
I like Christie
but he's played it a bit too political, showing up at this and that swearing in to blast dems. Plus he went way overboard to support his former aide blasting Nia Gill et all about the Supreme Court nominations mess. Crowley has a compelling Hollywood type story that will play well in suburban hoseholds. Don't know how conservative he is though, which will matter in the R Primary where all the nuts come out.
None of them are worth a hoot
A governor with low numbers and this is best that the GOP can come up with.
The Governors Race 2009
Where will the GOP be, come November 5th.
Will the State have a New U.S.Senator in Zimmer? I believe it could happen tonight.
I like Lautenberg, but age "84", he should enjoy the balance of his years retired.
As for the potential candidates, I am not impressed with any of the GOP potentials.
The party is broke an everyone is from North Jersey. We need A South Jersey Candidate.
Show me a GOP candidate who will cut the budget in half and slash and burn his/her way through the poor management of the current governor and I will campaign for that person.
You know, if the Governor had any "Balls", he would mandate a cut in state worker hours from 40 to 24 hours, preserving their pension and medical as full time employee benefits and go more private contractor for operating various agencies and ... More Later!

Go Phillies
ashcroft, gonzalez, mukasey, goodling,sampson,rove.....
President Obama. Case closed.
The nomination is Christies or Crowleys to Lose
Lonegan ( Good Guy ) but cant win. His Local Candidates in Bogota got crushed again last night by two high school drop outs who dont own property in that town.
next years Obama Backlash
The Obama / Corzine backlash, Higher Property taxes, Cognilio and Ferriero going to jail. After this Chris Christie will be the only candidate standing.
