I have been supporting Sean Garballey, and continue to do so –  going back to a hotly contested Democratic Primary.  However, I think the system is better and more honest when there is a true contest of ideas between Democrats, Republicans, and yes, independents like Robert Valeri.  Governance is the better for competition.

  1. You may think it’s good to have a real race.

    <

    p>In this district, where being the Democratic nominee, is usually an express ticket to the statehouse, a real race advertises the weakness of the Democratic candidate.

    <

    p>This is Jim Marzilli’s seat.  There’s lots of Democrats voting for Worden with hopes of getting a more qualified candidate in November.

    <

    p>WORDEN in MARCH
    a good DEMOCRAT in NOVEMBER

      • Elect the little lamb, soon to be the pet of DeMasi and the lobbyists, and you won’t have a progressive for very long.  Better to get someone with a backbone and some experience.

        • look at romney and mccain for example.  two mature aged guys, neither of which have the backbone to stick by their convictions two campaigns in a row. (“honorable” veteran mccain’s recent vote that would allow the cia to continue using torture really, really disgusts me.  just i though you should know.)
