A Soprano State Christmas

The Asbury Park Press is running an AP story about a thief who ran off with a $21,000 diamond that he took from a jewerly store in the Paramus Park mall.

The comments under the story are pure New Jersey:

"Authorities say they'll used fingerprints and surveillance camera footage to try to catch the man, who also visited the store about two weeks ago." Fingerprints? Interesting can't wait to read the follow up on this one. Sounds like a little of misinformation purposely put out there to scare the thief. Let's see if it works!


Maybe the NJGOP should think twice before running an anti-corruption gubernatorial campaign.

Fighting corruption is important. Yet anyone familiar with winning campaigns, Thomistic ethics, and Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite knows that there must be a proper order of things. The issue must be good, good in accord with the given candidate's ability to articulate that issue, and good for the given electorate.

Fighting corruption is important, but not the most important issue. The most important election priority is for a candidate to have strong particular stances on issues, which are part of a larger, comprehensive, and dynamic plan to un-do decades of damage in Trenton.

Voters know what is most important to them and how they will vote in the Gubernatorial primary. It is looking like the grassroots of the party will have to bring the NJGOP on board kicking and screaming.

Should the NJGOP's candidate lose the primary, what makes you think the loser's and there supporters would come on board at all?
