Maybe he voted for Christie.

Oh yeah that's right, he's in Joisey.  Speaking of Christie, it looks like he's already trying to move rightward.

So I take it you voted for de Blasio?

I didn't. :)

I did only vote for Dem judges though.

QuoteIn the interview, Christie touted his conservative credentials and dished out some bipartisan criticism, saying the Republican Party needs to focus on winning elections, and slamming President Barack Obama for the mixed messages on the new health care law.

I figured he'd try to re-brand himself as a bona fide conservative once he got this re-election under his belt, but it sounds like he's already making noises to that effect. 

I suppose I could be convinced to support him again.

Perhaps he'd hook another Blue Hen brutha up with a nice cushy political appointee position :P

Minwage, yes or no?
Yes.  Whatever the inefficiencies of the minimum wage are, increasing wealth inequality is not one of them, and IMO that's the biggest economic and social danger facing us today.

Yeah.  I really dislike him personally, but it's hard to argue that's he's a highly effective politician.  Hopefully neither US Senator gets indicted for corruption before 2016.

Good.  Men like you built this country into what it... well, was before about 1970.

I voted today, too.  To allow Sunday alcohol sales in my city.  :cheers:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I wish we could vote on Sunday Chick-fil-A sales.
