[font size=5]The Woman In Chris Christie's Shadow[/font]
(by) Ruby Cramer
.... [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Barbara Buono[/FONT], known more widely as the woman Democrats put forward to run against Chris Christie after Cory Booker took a pass, is asked her first question early, before the cameras go live and the set falls silent for the countdown to air. The state senator is in Hardball's Washington studio for a national television interview — her third-ever — and a rare chance to get her name on the screen and into the living rooms of Chris [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Matthews' tens of thousands[/FONT] of MSNBC viewers.
But first — before any talk about New Jersey, where Buono has experience two-decades-deep in the state legislature — a query from the cable news vet, as his guest later recalled it:
"Can I say you're attractive?" Matthews asks.
"No, you can't," Buono remembers responding.
She slogged to Washington for this? ....
The rest of the interview doesn't go much better: Matthews interrupts Buono mid-sentence 14 times, spends a hefty chunk of the five-minute segment... ....
"That's what [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]this ass[/FONT] said," Buono added... ....
And even though Buono, 59, has been a fixture in the legislature since 1994, serving recently as the first woman majority leader in the state Senate, the number-two spot, she is all but unknown inside the state — forget outside. In Trenton, she has been a vocal and [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]spirited Democratic voice, a progressive[/FONT] contrast to Christie's first term, pushing issues like [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]marriage equality, education funding, gun control, and environmental protection[/FONT]. But for five straight months, more than three-quarters of voters have said they don't know enough about Buono to form an opinion one way or the other, though she has steadily chipped away at that figure by one or two points each month. It doesn't help that she represents Middlesex County, a political bellwether smack in the center of the state, and a tough place to get yourself known, unlike the political hotbeds in the North and South. ....
