20. And here we have, in one post, an illustration of why the "left" will never win...
First, a complete misunderstanding of Kagan's carefully scripted comments concerning stare decisis in an overly politicized hearing. There may be reasons to vote against her, but this is not one of them.

Then, calling Menendez and Lautenberg DINOs. They may not be far enough left for some, but they are as left as it gets in NJ, and that's not bad.

BTW, just what are those "core views" of the Democratic Party I keep hearing about? I grew up with Tammany Hall Democrats in NY and when I lived in Joisey the machines still called all the shots.

I see county Democratic leaders Lesniak and Norcross haven't retired from the Senate yet-- how they doin' with those core values? I don't remember this DiFilippo woman when I lived in Elizabeth, but she seems to have taken over a lot of Lesniak's territory without the immunity from prosecution.

Can they put the Jersey City mayor's name on the reservoir up by Route 46 yet? There was a time when the mayors got indicted so fast it wasn't worth making a new sign.
