No shiat.

Someone should ask the NJ legislature to defend this. Be interesting to see them spin their wheels attempting to do so.

This just in: You have to be rich to run for public office in the United States!
More at 11!

The raw hubris required to say that requiring fundraising of 380k to qualify for public funding is there to "allow candidates of limited means to run for office and to run effective campaigns" staggers me.

I am staggered. By the hubris.

NJ 101.5 sucks

Ever since they got bought by the NJEA

So does this mean that NJWeedman will not be running for governor?

PsyLord		2012-06-25 01:58:59 PM

Apparently I am totally not eligible to be a governator.

Dennis and Jim wouldn't have a job if that was the case.

Casey just plain sucked and was probably the worst on air personality they ever had.

You're probably a Casey fan.

We need to make political campaigns be from public funds. None of this fundraiser or money from corporations in campaigns.
