    Wisconsin Gov Walker, Ohio Gov Kasich, Texas Gov Perry have delivered on promises particularly on fiscal issues and controlling state debt and expense. They are leaders with strong hands and lots of fervent supporters.

    Our property taxes have reached confiscatory levels and certainly the next democrat governor will try to make his base happy by raising state income taxes to California levels (13%).

    DHS estimates NJ has an estimated 430,000 illegals many working in the underground economy. My guess is few have health insurance.

    Meanwhile, we pin our hopes on third world financial schemes like sports betting, casinos in every town and online gambling.

    Meanwhile Governor Christie is out of town.
    Republicans need to urge our Governor Christie to deliver on his promises to his voters.

    CC was elected to do a job here in NJ. It was reported that most homes damaged by Sandy, have not received the funds they truly deserve. This state is last in creating jobs–first in taxes, and has one of the highest unemployment rates. Lets not forget the 6 downgrades in debt. CC has been in office for 5 years.

    Its time for him to stay put in the state, and stop putting his personal ambitions over the residents of this state!
