Norcross has destroyed South Jersey. He is moving up to the northern part of the state and around the riverfront into Pennsylvania. This is a destructive, irresponsible man with an agenda. I hope nobody is working to help this man. He needs to go ASAP and never return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458724113457799001.post-46126407621703669822010-07-13T08:37:14.381-04:002010-07-13T08:37:14.381-04:00Josh: I agree with you on both counts.

So they tend to play less of a role in state elections than they do in Congressional and Presidential elections. If Christie continues to get the state's fiscal house in order while remaining able to avoid making lots of enemies, his views on abortion, gun control, gay marriage, etc. will be a non-issue.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593093896643755523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458724113457799001.post-28630710180683468702010-07-12T22:13:22.950-04:002010-07-12T22:13:22.950-04:00What I find most impressive about Christie is that...What I find most impressive about Christie is that he's been able to accomplish his stated goals almost completely to the letter while minimizing the number of enemies he's making. Yes, the CWA, NJEA and other labor unions will want a piece of him. But that seems to be about it. <br /><br />So many politicians give way too much in order to be able to say that they "accomplished" something. Others truly accomplish their goals, but make so many enemies in the process that they suffer politically in the long run (as was arguably the case with George Bush). Christie has somehow managed to strike that balance.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593093896643755523noreply@blogger.com
