The State House grounds … in Charleston?

Um, not since 1786 dude …

(Oops).

For those of you keeping score at home, Trenton (named after Scottish merchant William Trent) is New Jersey’s state capital.  In fact the city was briefly the capital of the United States of America (in November and December 1784) – and was considered as a possible permanent capital city until those pesky southern states insisted on the national capital moving below the Mason-Dixon line.

Christie is a Democrat.Obama is a Democrat. Christie doesn’t know where the fuck the capital of SC is. Obama said he visited 58 states.Go figure.

He isn’t going to win. He has said some outrageous things. He has also said some very right things. I don’t feel the need to bash him….cuz he isn’t going to win. LOL

Christie is a Democrat, I agree with that. I can’t get over the way he was hugging, kissing, and feeling up Obama during the hurricane Sandy episode. I have no judgement on his terms as Governor, but he will not have a long run in the Republican Presidential nomination chase. He may get to be a broker for the New Jersey delegates for the Republican convention, but he will not be a major player.

Dang Erneba – once I stopped playing games I am surprised how much we do agree. I clicked like on your comment and then I noticed someone agreed with me – boom – you.

I do see that picture of a cat thought – ha!

I am sure to get bashed, and Christie certainly has his flaws – not diminishing them. However, he has been a Governor for a long time. He is one of the few who spoke out about drug abuse and mental health last election. Don’t get me wrong – not rushing to support him, but he does have some good qualities.

He also has been very chummy with Obama and not supportive of government workers. I love his outspokenness and candor but I am very leery of him.

I share that sentiment, but he does have some good.

He does have some good but I am leery of him. I would have to think long and hard before I voted for him in a primary.

Agree – he isn’t on my list to vote for, at least not now. Plenty of time, but unlikely.

And, he’s such an economic success…what with his state’s credit rating being downgraded ONLY 9 times due to his fiscal incompetence since he took office.

Christie and Graham are two I would not vote for under any circumstances . They are both more Dim than anything else. Both are non starters in the GOP. Around the bowl and down the hole. OOPs too big a turd, get the plunger, he’s gotta go. LOL

There is one thing he knows for sure – he knows where every all you can eat buffet is located in the State of New Jersey

His power mad fat ass would make the capital of NJ Golden Corral instead of Trenton if he thought he could do it and maintain electibility.

Charleston still believes they are the state capital. Looks like he locked up the Charleston vote.

This is typical. Both NPR and the BBC talked about the shooting in Charleston, and then said “that occurred in the same city where the confederate flag is flying over the statehouse grounds.”
