Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno may have been successful in denying the voters of the Eighth Legislative District a choice in their next state senator, but former candidate and nine time Olympic Gold Medal winner Carl Lewis still has his oar in the water (sorry for the mixed metaphor!) of New Jersey politics.

Blue Jersey caught up with the World's Fastest Man at a GOTV rally last night in Willingboro. Our interview is below. Carl Lewis explains why he's not a politician, he excoriates 7th District Senator Diane Allen for her politically-motivated vote against women, correlates the Occupy Movement with New Jersey politics, and explains why voting is important. Below the fold is a video of Lewis' remarks to the crowd.
