Reporting from Kennett Square, Pa. - As he is quick to point out, President Obama is presiding over two wars, a sour economy and an epic fight to rework the nation's healthcare system.

Now tack on a trio of state and local political races. With an off-year election fast approaching, Obama is stepping up his commitment to Democratic candidates in hopes that an infusion of campaign charisma might pump up turnout.

What the party is finding, though, is that the electricity of 2008 is tough to recapture.

“Be careful what you wish for. You may be right and Christie wins, but Christie is spineless RINO. He will be a terrible governor, maybe worse than Corzine. Remember the long term effects of the RINO Whitman administration: debt, bad supreme court nominations, fiscal gimmicks.
Without Steve Lonigan in the race, it doesn’t matter who wins. None of the three have the stones to do what is needed.”

I’ll take Christie over Corzine any day of the week, no question. By the way, how do you know Christie will be a “terrible governor?” How? He’s never held elective office, never presided over a State budget, never. He said he will cut taxes and spending, so instead of calling him “terrible” before he’s even had a chance I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Go Chris Go!!!

Christie is definite lesser of evils

Everyone needs to vote to insure Corzine gets the boot

Can't find anything for Union County, but here are some sample ballots for Hudson. On the links I checked, Daggett is in column C, not D like on my town's ballot. But, even in column C, he's the 2nd candidate listed.

I'm surprised the (corrupt) Democrat machine in Hudson County would make such an oversight, with the potential to help Christie and not Corzine.

Really? I hadn't noticed.
I don't he has, either.

The war against the free enterprise system, and the war against Fox News.
