Senator Barbara Buono is on Blue Jersey and The Daily Kos (with links to MMM, my advertisers thank you Senator) pleading with Democrats to support and volunteer for Frank Pallone.
Joe Vas , John Lynch and Jim McGreevey were not available.
With one week to go, who would you rather have in your corner? Chris Christie or Barbara Buono?
More Middlesex Musings heard it from the Pallone campaign. MoreMonmouthMusings got confirmation from the Little campaign.
Congressman Frank Pallone and Mayor Anna Little will debate on Sunday evening, 7 PM at Temple Shalom, 5 Ayrmont Lane , Aberdeen. The debate is being sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
HIGHLANDS, NJ – 10/13/10 – As is par for the course with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, at just the right moment in the heated 6th District Congressional race the Governor will rally with Republican candidate for Congress, Anna Little, and her Army on Sunday, October 17th at the American Legion in Piscataway at 5:00 pm.
Anna’s Army will arrive en masse to greet the Governor, complete with “Anna’s Armada”, motorcycles and hundreds of cars, after spending the day in a grand caravan throughout the Middlesex, Union and Somerset parts of the District.
Governor Christie has been heard as saying that he is “so tired of Frank Pallone“. Displaying that knack for saying what everyone else is thinking, the Governor and Anna will rally the troops just 16 days away from what promises to be the most exciting 6th District Congressional race in memory.
Members of the press are encouraged to arrive early as the sheer number of volunteers attending the rally promises to be in the hundreds. The American Legion is located at 840 S. Washington Ave, Piscataway, New Jersey.
Bret Schundler testified before the Senate Legislative Oversight Committee yesterday and joined Senate Democrats in shifting the blame for the failed “Race To The Top” application for $400 million in federal education pork to Governor Christie’s insistence that the Education Department not cave to the NJEA’s opposition to merit pay for teachers and accountability standards, rather than accept responsibility for his own clerical error that was the cause of the failure.
It is sad to witness Schundler’s personal race to the bottom. It wouldn’t surprise me if Schundler switches parties again and runs against Christie in 2013. I would enjoy that race.
Governor Chris Christie terminated the “Access to the Regions Core” tunnel construction under the Hudson River yesterday after a month long review of the projects finances. The review revealed that New Jersey taxpayers would have been on the hook for $2.3-$5.3 billion in projected cost overruns in excess of the originally approved $8.7 billion budget.
The project would have provided rail service from the ill fated Xanadu monstrosity in the Meadowlands to a new station 150 feet below Macy’s basement. Critics of ARC, which was approved by Governor Corzine, say the rails would better serve the region if the New York side of the rails connected with Penn Station and Grand Central station in New York.
Christie said the decision to terminate the project was based on finances and not the location of the New York terminal.
The project as originally approved was to be finances by New Jersey, the Port Authority of NY/NJ and the federal government. New York was not contributing to the cost of the project.
