In this morning's News Roundup, we had a link to a Press of Atlantic City piece about voter anger, speculating who might be the winners and losers of that 2010 cycle phenomenon.

So, today's second Quote of the Day - and perspective - is from the NJ-6 incumbent, the only Dem staring down a well-financed Tea Party candidate in New Jersey today. Via politickernj:

There's a lot of anger this year," he said, although misdirected. "I just wish that the Tea Party anger would be directed at the special interests...that I think caused these problems.
- Rep. Frank Pallone, in Red Bank today

They are probably scared, and couldn't think clearly.

Accurate but pointless (0.00 / 0)

His point is accurate but pointless. He is directing his anger at the angry Tea Party - playing their game. The more politicians can stand up for what they believe in rather than pointing the finger or just venting, the better off they will be.
