Independent stirs up New Jersey governor contestSource: Yahoo! News
An independent candidate stressing New Jersey's economic woes is attracting surprising voter support in the governor's race, which features an unpopular Democratic incumbent and a Republican challenger with ties to former President George W. Bush.

Who says politics in New Jersey takes a rest for the summer? The governor's race is hotter and more intense than anyone could have ever imagined in the dog days of August.

It appears that education is going to be a major issue in the 2009 governor's race in New Jersey. Of course, the vast majority of voters are consumed by their concern over the state's economy along with employment and taxes.

Here we go. Like I mentioned before, everyone will review these episodes in their own way and have their own styles. This first one pretty much will be how I will do all of mine. I will probably find new things to add and adapt over time but this will be the basic look of it.

The New Jersey governor's race is really heating up. The TV spots are in full swing, Jon Corzine and Chris Christie are taking big time pot shots at each other and key constituent groups are lining up with their particular political horse.

On April 15, many conservatives around the country were glued to Fox News's coverage of the anti-tax Tea Parties around the country. Many for the first time heard the name of Texas Governor Rick Perry. The Lone Star state Governor told a reporter: "We've got a great union.

Chris Christie may still win the Republican gubernatorial primary, but in the process he is being forced into a more conservative political box than he ever imagined he'd be in.

Like many political observers, I'm looking ahead to what I anticipate to be a battle of two political heavyweights in New Jersey in the fall of this year.

Well the tournament has begun and looking at first few matches. I would stick my neck out and try and make a few predictions. Well looks like CSK, DD and KXIP are the best bets for semifinals. And a toss up between MI, RCB, and DC for the last berth.

If you need someone to blame look to Joseph Cassano, head of the Financial Products unit at AIG who racked up billions of losses while assuring investors it was nearly impossible for his unit to lose.

I don't like Governor Jon Corzine's budget proposal any more than you do, especially because I get whacked on many levels. First, I am not going to get a rebate check because the governor says that anyone earning over $75,000 is out.

Excerpt: I was casually flipping through the channels the other day, much like I do every time I find myself with nothing in particular to do, when I saw Geraldo Rivera reporting on another missing child case.

Republican GOP candidate Chris Christie is off to a strong start. His campaign bus, which constantly blasts his beloved Bruce Springsteen, is rolling along. He is getting great media attention and he looks like he's having a lot of fun.
