Jon Runyan and the Dred Scott Decision: He's not really pro-choice

Ignorant (0.00 / 0)

I'd go with ignorant, actually. I think he's parroting on a lot of positions and issues. I don't think he got to that by the same route by which George Bush's handlers guided him. And at any rate, Bush was a master at grasping the message given him and driving it relentlessly into the ground. A little higher, perhaps, on Bloom's Taxonomy than Runyan, into whom much less prepping has been poured. I think Runyan's just at the stage of repeating fragments of talking points.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

I wouldn't be surprised (0.00 / 0)

For the most part, Runyan parrots the Tea Party line, except for the abortion issue.  I don't know why he is deviating from the party's message - perhaps his wife is pressuring him on this issue.  But given that he has not demonstrated that he is an independent thinker, if he is elected, I would expect him to vote lock-step with the rest of his GOP colleagues.
