Maybe there should be some type of state mechanism that forces small municipalities to merge, or forfeit state funding.

Oh, Democratic states can be just as corrupt as Republican ones.

It's a well known fact that New Jersey and America (for that matter) has grossly underinvested in its public transportation system. Urban/suburban sprawl has not helped either. So, it's not surprising that the cars beat mass transit.

Transportation officials need to look at expaning the PATH and light rail.

This is two days old. Same thing with Ferraro. Clinton disowned Ferraro's remarks; Obama renounced Wright's remarks so let's move on.

I won't won't go into the facts because you should know them and I think there are more pressing issues, like why is America wasting $12 billion a month in Iraq.

I agree that there are too many small towns in Nj that could benefit from consolidation. why do small places like Hoboken, weehawken, Cliffside Park even exist. - they could all fit into a space smaller than manhattan which is the smallest boro in new york city. People - it's time to get real. And if people don't want to consolidate, then stop complaining about high property taxes.

Truth be told, I often ignore what my minister preaches about, like gays burning in hell and a woman's place being in the kitchen, etc. so big YAWN and stop trying to stir up trouble.

Also, if Obama's church attendance record is like his attendance in Senate, perhaps he didn't hear a lot of the bad talk. However, I must point out that America has done some reprehensible things so why not own up to it. Do you think that America is some paragon or something.

I see that Hillary is getting desperate...flying to Michigan and begging for a re-vote. Why can't she play fair? Michigan knew the rules and she earlier supported the decision not to seat Michigan's delegates. Just another example of her flip flopping.

Well, like it or not, there is a $12 billion a month war that needs to be covered. There is a massive deficit. A military budget that needs to be funded. Sure there is waste, but is it wise to ignore it.

Sounds like Hillary Clinton is sounding more like Obama on Iraq. It's amazing that for all her experience that she is now trying to emulate Obama.

As far as taxes are concerned, I think it's important that everyone be willing to make some sacrifice to get the economy in proper shape.

Amazing that with all of America's problems that some are so concerned with taxing the rich. In every developed coiuntry, the rich pay more and a lot more. Further, Obama has said that the rich will remain rich

Obama aid calls for Feraro firing

This article is just trying to stir up trouble. I am more troubled by comments coming from one of Clinton's top fundraiser.

Obama adviser calls for Ferraro's sacking

Geraldine Ferraro

Former vice-presidential candidate and Hillary Clinton fundraiser Geraldine Ferraro sparked the latest storm in the Democratic presidential race today when she raised questions about Barack Obama's race, saying he has only been successful because he is a black man.

Obama's senior strategist David Axelrod called on the Clinton organisation to sack Ferraro from her position, saying Clinton should better "police the tone of this campaign".

"Leadership in campaigns comes from the very top," he said. "The signals that have been sent from the Clinton campaign have been really unfortunate."

Ferraro, who ran for vice-president on Walter Mondale's ill-fated 1984 ticket, told a California newspaper, "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position". She continued, "And if he was a woman ... he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept". Ferraro implied that a woman of any racial background would face similar problems as Clinton has.

The Obama camp immediately jumped on the comments, demanding the Clinton campaign repudiate the remarks. According to CNN Obama's foreign policy adviser, Susan Rice, said: "I think if Senator Clinton is serious about putting an end to statements that have racial implications ? then she ought to repudiate this comment."

The furore erupted as voters in Mississippi lined up at the polls to cast primary votes Tuesday. Mississippi, which will award 33 delegates based on Tuesday's vote, is predicted to go Obama's way. The Illinois senator has won every southern state, except Clinton's former home, Arkansas, where her husband Bill was governor.

The latest row in the increasingly heated and contest comes after Obama's foreign policy adviser, Samantha Power, was forced to resign after calling Clinton a "monster" in an interview with The Scotsman.

Obama's race has crept into the national dialogue despite the Illinois senator's efforts to portray himself as somehow post-racial. As the two camps battled earlier this year, former president Bill Clinton compared Obama to Jesse Jackson, a Chicago minister, civil rights leader and former presidential candidate. The move was deemed an effort to belittle Obama as a "black" candidate who wouldn't appeal to white voters.

More recently, Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, an outspoken Clinton
backer, said conservative in his state, who go to the polls April 22,
weren't ready to elect a black candidate.

Joseph DiSarro, a political scientist at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania, predicted Rendell's comments would backfire by angering white voters who are not prejudiced.

"That's going to cost Hillary votes," DiSarro said. "There are going to be a lot of white voters who will be offended by that."

Obama's ethnic background - his father was Kenyan, and his middle name is Hussein - has become fodder for his opponents, mostly on the right. Initially, slurs accusing Obama of being a secret Muslim or a Manchurian candidate of sorts were found largely to the Internet.

But this week Iowa congressman Steve King, a Republican, said if Obama wins the White House, "the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida and the radical Islamist and their supporters will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th, because they will declare victory in this war on terror".

Although black voters have turned out en masse to vote for Obama and played a large roll in his southern victories, Obama's skin colour has not hindered him in mostly white states. On Saturday, for instance, he won Wyoming, which is 95% white, by 23 points.

Gross. If the cops know that gangs are robbing illegal Mexican workers (who are otherwise law abiding), then the police should be out in force making sure that no one is robbed and locking up the gang members.

People are trying to make much about nada. It was a poor personal decision - there was no criminal intent. Just Bill Clinton made a poor personal decision in "not touching" Monica, but there was nothing criminal. Much about nada. People should stop diverting attention.

Bush and Clinton this past week proved that fear works. You don't think that McCain and the Republicans will use similar tactics, and I don't see how Clinton can beat them at their own game when she has supported it time and time again.

Just goes to show you that fear does work. I think McCain will win this one. If Clinton is trailing and can't even win the popular vote in her own party, how can she expect to win in a general election where the big states of California and NY are not as important as the Clinton camp tries to portray. Afterall, Bush lost NY, NJ and California.

Don't get me started on the Lowe's Jersey. Although I am happy that volunteers helped save the theater, the place is poorly managed.

Not everyone wants to see classic movies all the time. They need to work on showing more current (domestic and foreign) films. Why do they strive to serve such a narrow community.
