Okay, it is election season, so I guess that this is to be expected.

Yesterday, I received a robo-call from Bill Clinton, urging me to vote for Bob Menendez for Senate.

Also yesterday, the Somerset County Clerk robo-called me to assure me that, "even in these trying circumstances" my vote would be counted...and to be sure to vote for her.

Earlier today, I got a robo-call from Cory Booker. To be honest, after he finished the boiler-plate, "I hope that you fared well in the recent storm" verbiage, I hung up, so I don't even know what else he had to say, but I assume that he was robo-calling to urge that I vote for one or more Democrats.

And then, a few minutes ago, I received a robo-call from the Houston (Texas, of course) Republican organization, urging me, "as a registed Republican", not to vote for "a turncoat Republican" (whose name I don't recall), whom they do not favor for election to the Houston city council.

Why they would be calling me, since I am...
...not a registered Republican...
and
... I live in NJ...
...is a mystery to me, but...if this represents their "efficient, business-friendly skills" that the caller bragged about, I have to say that I was not impressed!

I'm sorry.
The Devil made me say that, but you really shouldn't provide such easy set-ups for jokes unless you are trying to encourage those jokes.

Nah I don't think he's ready. Newark isn't a better place since he's been governor. Although he's a very cool guy.

Nope. Christie has proven his worth to NJ with Sandy. As tough and mean Christie can be, it comes in handy when this state needs direction, and help from the government. He got it done and took the time/attention needed. Look at how well we are coming along compared to NY hit area's... goes to say something. Christie will drop politics at a hat for our state. He's got my vote.
PLus, since Cory's been in Newark, I don't feel like that city is any safer... my 0.02

So are parts of the Bronx , the Crime is really South and West....not really in Downtown , East and North....which are on par with Manhattan , Brooklyn and Queens in terms of crime.

We are talking NJ, not NY.. Those guys running NY wouldn't have a shot in NJ.. you can go to the NY forum I'm sure and discuss those cities with them if you'd like
