NJ Dem primary is coming up. Opinion of candidates?

Gottheimer - I don't support that he worked with No Labels. What harm could he do, working with Repukes in the state legislature?

Sherrill - hasn't done much in Congress.

Baraka and Fulup - both did good jobs running their cities.

Sweeney - The south Jersey political machine boss. As useless as my left nut.


Your thoughts?

I cast an unapologetic jaundiced eye at him.

No Labels was not an effort in bipartisanship. It was a major dilution of democratic principles and goals. It was essentially surrender.

Add to that it's been revealed that he hasn't divested himself of Tesla stock, a sizable amount.

The only thing positive I can say about him is that he's against Congestive Pricing at the Hudson River crossings. New Jersey drivers pay more than $10 to cross the River and then another $15 to enter Manhattan. But I also don't see any results of his efforts.

All sizzle and no steak.

NJ needs a governor who can strongly go against TSF, not employ empty rhetoric.
