I live in NJ and know very little about State Senator Buono who is running against Christy

Looks to me like the NJ Democrat party is conceding the Governors election before it even gets started . JESUS!!! I rather see Cody run at least people know who he is http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/01/sen_buono_raises_almost_250k_i.html

Barbara Buono is a more accomplished politician than celebrity mayor Cory Booker. Look at her record. She's been a true progressive in the state of New Jersey.

I hope I am wrong but I have a feeling the hurricane may assure Christie's reelection.

My desire is that Sweeney, runs in the primary so I can vote against his sorry ass for what he did to public employees.

Please tell me.

All he did was ensure that the pension system was solvent going forward. Nothing more.

He was once a general organizer for the International Association of Ironworkers. He is a union man himself.
