NJ Senate 2008 Poll for Dems

[Conan]

Please only Dems vote. Reps can post who they want. If you vote you must post who you voted for.

[Conan]

I support Rush Holt.

[Conan]

I'm not voting in the poll but I want my voice heard - Please nominate Pallone or re-nominate Lautenberg!

Whats the beef with Pallone?

[Conan]

I might actually temporarily register as a Democrat to vote for Holt in the primary. I like Rothman, too, but I love Holt. (Plus, he has the best name ever, along with his deceased father.)

Yes, Rush Holt is a pretty good name.

[Conan]

Rob Andrews still supports the war in Iraq I believe? Tell me if I am wrong...

[Conan]

Rob Andrews:

Voted YES on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration.
Voted NO on replacing death penalty with life imprisonment.
Voted YES on eliminating the Estate Tax
Voted YES on authorizing military force in Iraq

Theres some beef I have. But I can understand the last one.

Whats the beef with Pallone?

The GOP would probably win.

Why? Pallone is no different then the other NJ Dem congressmen. Plus, the GOP has no candidates to run, unless theres a rich businessman who can do it, but then theyd lose too.

[Conan]

Which one is the most left-leaning?

Pallone, Holt and Rothman are all about equally mildly liberal. Andrews is more moderate.

Looking over the issues, Andrews seems only a tidbit more moderate then the others, not much though. Socially liberal, fiscally moderate, wrong ideas with defense.

Chris Christie seems credible. I imagine Pallone as a weak campaigner but I guess I am not really qualified to say that.

Anybody who thinks Chris Christie can run is an idiot. Maybe 10% name recognition, conservative, Bush pioneer, and improper use of office.

10% name ID? With all of his involvement in prosecuting the trash in your Garbage State? Do you think Rush Holt has a higher name ID? Being conservative means he can't run? Have you ever heard of Bret Schundler or Steve Lonegan? Bush pioneer? Oh how I can't wait until the day when that can't be used by every Dem running for office! What improper use of his office? Well...besides going after the corrupt Dems running your state...

By the way, anybody that thinks he can run is an idiot? Really? Is that why he is one of the most frequently mentioned candidates for the Senate?

That was one of the most stupid things I have ever read. Yes he only has around 10% name ID. Yes more people know who Holt is. PA is the sh**t state compared to NJ. Obviously Keans candidacy shows you the need for a liberal to liberal face off in NJ because we will not send a conservative to Washington. Yes BUsh pioneer will hurt him in TV commercials. Steve Lonegan and Schundler lost by the way so that was a stupid idea to bring them up and they werent running for congress either.

[Conan]

Cristie will crush any of them, he's probably the best candidate either party has to run in any state

Then nominate him and watch him lose.

[Conan]

That was one of the most stupid things I have ever read.

Think about how we felt when you arrived.

You really think Holt's name ID is better than Christie's and above 10%?

I'd say that 50% of your own state disagrees.

This wasn't even about winning the race. You said it was dumb to think that a conservative can run. They are conservatives and they did run.

Than ran and lost. A conservative can run but then they'd just lose. If you like living in PA then thats good for you, you'll always have Philly and Heinz Ketchup.

Than ran and lost. A conservative can run but then they'd just lose.

I'm not getting into the debate over whether they can win or lose. My point was that you were saying that he can't run because he was a conservative.

I hate ketchup but...uh...thank you?

Thats not what I was trying to say and I must have misinterpreted what you said which is easy when its in writing and not being spoken.
