As I look ahead to the next couple of years of anti-gun onslaughts, I've wondered what will happen in 2016. I came across this article:

http://www.wnyc.org/story/why-vote-christie-could-mean-youre-voting-guadagno-governor/

 

Key points:

- According to the article, if Christie runs in 2016, he'll be "out of state a lot," leaving Guadagno in charge. It doesn't say he has to resign the governorship.

- According to opponent in the race: "Silva says Guadagno is out of touch with voters when it comes to issues like marriage equality, gun regulations and women’s issues."

 

On the other hand, there's this:

http://articles.philly.com/2013-10-13/news/42970456_1_lieutenant-governor-guadagno-job-creation

"Both candidates said they were for stringent gun control but not the legalization of marijuana for recreational use, though Silva said she favored decriminalizing possession of "small amounts" of the drug."

 

Don't know what to make of this. Any other insights?

Christie puppet

Out of touch with the sheeple on gun control could be a good thing for us

Not really.  When Milly Silva says she's out of touch, that does not mean Kim is pro 2A.  It means she's not anti 2A enough.  Don't get me wrong, it's better than having Milly Silva as govenor.

If Christie runs, he will have to resign. It has been reported that he will not be able to raise money from Wall St since those firms do business with the state.

 

If he wants their money, he'd have to step down.

"As the lieutenant governor, she is the number two in the state. She's standing by Governor Christie and his values and his policies," Silva said. 

"I am proud to stand with Sen. Barbara Buono who believes that the people of New Jersey need economic as well as social justice."

 

 

 

I couldn't think of a better reason to vote for Guadagno.

She looks drunk 90% of the time on TV

I concur. I worked on Wall St. for 12 years. Most of which were in the IT group that serviced the Municipal Bonds Division of my firm. There are SEC and other rules (Municipal Securities Rulemaking board - MSRB) that have very strict control over what political contributions a Wall St. employee or firm (especially registered FCs and MFPs (Municipal Finance Professionals)) can make to municipal and/or state politicians, etc., since the construction of Municipal Bond "deals" normally involve such a municipality attempting to sell debt and debt products. There can be no influence involved whatsoever. If a person designated as an MFP is caught making such a contribution to a municipal or state official, the firm can be fined millions of $$ and prohibited from doing business in that municipality for 2 years from the date of the infraction. That's a hefty amount of $$$.

 

I assume there are similar restrictions for the Wall St. People on which CC might be depending. Even if there is no state law requiring him to resign, if he wants Wall St. financial support, he will have to resign.

Plenty of other governors have ran for office without quitting first.

She stands in for the Governor at the annual Governor's Surf Fishing Tournament at Island Beach State Park each year.

 

I personally know how she treated her officers when she was Monmouth Co Sheriff and she will NEVER get my vote.

 

 

Who is John Galt?

I am so excited I figured out how to change my signature.

He's afraid Greenpeace will try to push him back into the ocean if he gets too close to the beach.
