Another week of the campaign season is down and the days keep coming off the calendar before election day.
Dennis Oury testified against Joe Ferriero. The polls continued to close, with some of them showing Corzine in the lead for the first time. The Lieutenant Governor candidates had their debate. The Leadership battles for the Senate and the Assembly rolled on, while ELEC said less money has been raised and spent on seeking office this year.
So once again we have plenty to work with to begin the weekend in rhyming style.
Rules are simple: You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic.
First topic: Closing polls
Polls are still closing
campaigns come down the home stretch
Just that last poll counts
Next topic: campaign spending

What a week. The polls are getting closer. We finally had our first debate. We've seen talk of property taxes and mandates. As of now, there are votes lined up for a new Senate President and Assembly Speaker. Dennis Oury plead guilty and Joe Ferriero's trial started. And Mayor Cory Booker took on Conan O'Brien. So there is plenty of fodder to work with as we begin the weekend in rhyming style.
Rules are simple: You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic.
First topic: The 1st debate
First debate is done
Christie's plans still don't exist
like the tooth fairy
Next topic: Mandates and Health Insurance

Many Democrats are in Atlantic City right now at the state conference and Al Gore will speak at dinner tonight. The campaign for Governor rolls on and the Senate Finance Committee is still debating over 500 amendments to healthcare. So there's plenty on the table for our Friday installment of daily politics in verse.
Rules are simple: You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic.
First topic: Brick City
I watched Brick City
the triumph and tragedy
what a great series
Next topic: Al Gore in AC

It's a beautiful Friday afternoon, and you're stuck at the office. What better way to show a little escapist spirit and spend a minute entertaining the rest of the Blue Jersey community with your wit, and your ability to, uh, count syllables.
Rules are simple: I'll kick you off with a starter haiku and give you the next topic. You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic for the next poster. Let's see how far we can get just on the contest between Corzine & Christie, Weinberg & Guadagno.
First topic: Scared Sheriff
She shows only fear
But it's hope the city needs
Newark voters, Rise
Next topic: Chris Christie, where are the specifics?
