re: #78 Mattand

To be honest with you, at least in South Jersey, it’s been kind of quiet. I haven’t seen that many lawn signs out. Only one Lonegan sign I can think of.

I think part of the problem is that Booker hasn’t blown everyone away down here, like Christie did. They’re both North Jersey guys. In a lot of ways, we function as two separate states. Lonegan was unheard of down here, and Booker is “that guy who runs Newark.:

I’d like to think that enough voters will see Lonegan for the Tea Bagger he is, but I know teachers who love Christie. This is despite that fact that the Gov has vowed to make their lives harder by crushing the unions.

I will never understand middle and working class people joining in the demonization of unions. It would be like members of the investor class demonizing corporations.
