I would maybe vote for black democrat Cory Booker (his likley opponent) just to beat him if I lived in NJ.
I hate to say it. I was never in loooooove with him like many idiots but I defended his fat ass many times. WHOOPSIE. My bad everyone who said from the start he was a RINO. You was right, I were wrong.
Jersey GOP are slime. We should primary him but he will win the primary.
BRET Schundler, that was a conservative man who was elected mayor of a mostly Black and Hispanic city by a landslide 2 or 3 times. Sounds like Presidential timber right? Who better to run against Obama in 2008?
Well he could not win The NJ Governorship over that Queero McSkeevy in 2001 after the Jersey GOP kneecapped him.
See Jersey City which is heavilly democrat elected him several times but he was too conservative for Jersey Republicans!

Yeah...or just don’t vote. By the time the next elections come around, gas should be, oh $6/gallon. Save a few cents.
That's like the candidate we ran against Bobby Rush this election cycle, Don Peloquin. He's a conservative man who has been elected mayor of Blue Island, IL (which is roughly 1/3rd white, 1/3rd black, 1/3rd hispanic) for the last 20 years. Of course, he didn't run with an "R" next to his name in the mayoral races, instead he ran on whatever the local party was (in suburban Cook, all the towns have local parties like "Unity Party", "Taxpayers Party", etc.)
I haven't seen the numbers yet, but I know we got slaughtered in suburban Crook again, and it's possible that Bobby Rush (puke!) could have carried my township, something he wasn't able to do in 2010, 2006, 2004, 2002, or 2000. I just know in my own pct., blacks are around 20-30% of the residents, but they made up around 50% of the voters who showed up at the polls. I think turnout was down on both sides (lots of white liberals "stayed home" too), but blacks still eagerly voted for Obama.

Same situation when my then-state Senator (Patrick J. O'Malley) ran for Governor in 2002 and lost the GOP primary. He represented a Crook County senate district that was surrounded by Chicago on three sides (it even contained a couple of blocks of the 19th ward of Chicago BEFORE the 2002 redistricting), it was mostly blue-collar, and had a large number of black and hispanic minorities. But he was "too conservative" for statewide voters. Right. And yet somehow an wealthy elitist WASP north shore politician (Mark Kirk) is a better fit for suburban voters, even though 90% of the suburbs are NOTHING like his constituents. And of course, running as a conservative "social issues" is given as excuse why we lose, nevermind the fact even the Dem candidates in my area run as social conservatives (the RAT who won my state senate contest this year, Bill Cunningham, CLAIMS to be a pro-life Catholic).
