So what changed your mind? And why would you vote for "Fat Ass" now? He may eat the entire state.

Yes you are right. I know I am a very stubborn person--and that has always been one of greatest faults.

No, I would not vote for him.

He seems like a nice guy and all, but Newark remains a hellhole with no real progress made. Meanwhile, Jersey City is currently undergoing a major Renaissance with a clown as mayor. I vote on qualifications and Booker doesn't really have any.


Financial concerns and taxes remain the biggest concern, and Christie has made some strides there. I would give him the full term, even though I am not 100% satisfied with him so far

Theres over 14 projects underway , sure parts of the city are horrible but the Downtown is on the upswing and the Port area.... Newark is the only city investing in its infrastructure for Pedestrians , Bikers and Buses.... Jersey City hasn't done that , so its experiencing growing pains in some areas while Newark hasn't had those issues yet nor with it since they rezoned correctly.

A beached whale is less damaging to the people than a statist-collectivist like Cory Booker. In fact, if Christie wasn't running, and an actual beached whale was placed on the ballot, the whale would get my vote. In fact, even a vacant mussel shell would be a more rational choice for governor for anyone who values competence, quality, individual freedom, excellence, progress, Capitalism, and all the other good things that make America different from the Greeces and Spains of the world.

Have you been to Newark recently? It's a beautiful city.

Panasonic is moving from Secaucus to Newark as are many other companies. With Manhattan about to go under water in the next decade more and more companies will be relocating to Newark.
