I haven't got enough of anything to make one long blog post right now, so here's some random notes from the week so far:
Governor Corzine flew to Ohio to have his annual physical earlier this week. You'd think there should be someone closer who would've accepted his insurance.
The primary elections are next Tuesday, as you probably well know. If you haven't declared a party, you may declare at the polls. New Jersey has a high number of undeclared voters, which is more a function of the fact that you can't declare easily when you register than that we're an undecided bunch. Since next year our presidential primary matters, you may want to get named to a party.
I attended the local Memorial Day celebration, which was a great success, with both Assemblyman Michael Panter and Senator Ellen Karcher attending. Also in the crowd were canvasers for Carol Gay, handing out flyers to get involved in her campaign for the 4th district Congressional seat. I guess we're considered mostly Dems here in the Center of NJ; the Republican Assemblyperson, Jennifer Beck, didn't attend, nor did I see anyone campaigning for Chris Smith. (Not that Chris Smith ever bothers to campaign much, not does that hurt him come election time.)

Bad PR with Corzine going out of state for his physical.
As the head of state and one who is trying to craft NJ as a techno-science haven, it really is silly that he would leave to do this.
Governors should shop in their own state.
You betcha.
The given reason for the out-of-state trip, which Corzine paid for himself, is that he's been with the same Doc for years. Now, I understand wanting to stay with a practitioner whom you trust, but you said it- Governors should shop in their own state.
There are thousands of Docs here in Our Fair State who are just as, if not more, capable. This was a bad idea.
It's funny that the states that are considered the "bluest" often have some of the smallest percentages of registered Democrats. The states with the highest percentages just about all went red in 2004 (west virginia, louisiana, arkansas, to name a few).
