One Word: (0.00 / 0)

Entrenched.

Unfortunately, there's a few entrenched people on this list. They can easily tinkle on your back, and say it's raining, while their voters simply say may it pour.

More of an Old School Lefty if anything......

Torn (0.00 / 0)

Many people on this list I know and like personally, and respect greatly. In other contexts they have done great things for NJ. But this vote is a tough one to forgive and forget. Did changes need to be made with regards to pension and health care? Of course. But AFTER we ask for more from the wealthiest among us, not before. It seems like the policies of Christie Whitman have screwed the middle class to benefit the rich, and now the middle class is (once again) being stuck with the tab. This is unethical, and puts south jersey democrats in a very tough position.

primary? (0.00 / 0)

Unless these people get primary challengers from the left, they have no reason to change. What are we supposed to do, vote Republican?

Of course not (0.00 / 0)

But if they are so "entrenched," they don't need support, do they? Why extend it to them?

A Christie Trifecta (3.00 / 1)

That is exactly the blackmail I hate them for the most; you MUST vote for me to avoid a Christie trifecta. Thats the kind of dirty and soulless corner-shoving that I find the most vile of all. My vote will not be one of this sort. OH yes, the base is splitting, those public workers that voted for Christie have good cause to fear, people like me are PISSED!

There is no political party to represent me now.
