A contrast

At this point (4.00 / 2)

anyone still publicly backing Clinton is just serving as an enabler for her to take down as much of the party as possible.

Obama has won, can we stop the Hillary bashing now? It is his battle to win or lose. Enjoy the victory, the contest is over.

Yes (4.00 / 1)

we should all shut up and let Hillary Clinton continue to destroy the party.  She has earned that much.

a good democrat indeed (0.00 / 0)

calling George Norcross a brother?   Responding to questions about Norcross'  closed door power with a joke about urging him to come out of his shell?  

On another note:

Now that she has won her party's nomination for United States House of Representatives, is it to too much to ask that the Courier Post stop referring to Camille Andrews - an accomplished attorney, professor, and law school dean - as "Rob Andrew's wife"?    

It's straight up disrespectful

Then again, she hasn't exactly said she won't bow out if asked.

Your last line says it. (0.00 / 0)

When (which I'm guessing is never) she truly embarks on her own political career, then even in political circles, she'll stop being "Rob Andrew's wife." For now, it seems taht she's acting as an agent of his political career, so his wife is an apt description.

I agree with Dvd.

It's legitimate to refer to Camille Andrews as Rob Andrews' wife. Not because she is all those things you mention - attorney, professor, Dean - and those things are somehow unrecognized, but because her position on that ballot is clear protectionism and calculation.

Camille Andrews is precisely the kind of person you wouldn't be surprised to see run for office. Impressive resume. But that's not what's happening. Rob Andrews allowed a situation where he tried a leap to higher office - yes, primaries are good - but created a situation where other people couldn't fairly and honestly compete for that seat without the unfair advantage that there was Andrews still on that ballot.

There's a having a cake and eating it too situation there.  

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

the irony (0.00 / 0)

is that now Andrews repeated denials of interest in going back to the House mean that was never the plan.  So, putting Camille on only served to hurt Rob's campaign.

Why was Pallone a Clinton supporter... (0.00 / 0)

...to begin with? I would have had him pegged as an Obama type. Was it because of the way his district voted or is it because of her stance on health care?
