With this kind of NJ ROBO voting, its a wonder we dont have more corruption, as a democratic politician you are free to do whatever you want in this state, even give favors to unions because you will get re-elected automatically here. |

This is truly scary to me, and for Cranbury |
Even scarier was how many Wayne DeAngelo votes were cast. I really wish Republican or Democrat that if you don't care enough to research the candidate that you then don't vote. I know it flys in the face of what I say that every vote is important, but if you're voting only for party and don't take even a few minutes to research the candidate and understand their issue then you are doing more harm by voting. Politicians are seeking a job and you would not hire someone to work in your home or office without interviewing them or reading their resume. Why would you then vote on someone whose job it is to make law and control our town if you don't research their background. Look at who says what and when. It's great if people agree, but are they agreeing because the message is hitting home and they know it is easy to do? Or are they agreeing because they raised an issue first? Wayne and Linda supported COAH in a non-election year. When the two opponents started hitting the message of helping Cranbury and opposing COAH it resonated. At that point Wayne and Linda came out saying COAH needed to be changed. They had no desire prior and if Corzine were in office would have no desire post. It was simply an election ploy on their part. |

Linda Greenstein- 717
Wayne DeAngelo- 630
Rob Calabro- 823
Bill Harvey-827
Perspective:
- 630 people supported Wayne. That is almost as many as supported Glenn (653) who worked hard and knocked on doors in town.
- Linda had 717 and that is almost as many as Dan had (731) who also worked hard and knocked on doors in town.
- Corzine had 579 votes. So Wayne DeAngelo and Linda Greenstein who supported COAH and worked with Corzine and others in the same manner had more votes. Logically, one would think if people were not voting party line the Governor and Assembly votes would be closer together. It seems people voted for Christie and then went back and supported the assembly candidates.
Where 2 seats were open:
- 3,004 votes were cast for assembly, 3076 were for TC in Cranbury. That means people simply skipped over assembly.
- 2,887 votes were cast for freeholder so that really shows minimal concern. |

Probably 600 of those are just clueless electorates who aren't paying any attention to the issues around them and just blinding vote for party. Maybe 30 are people who did so consciously out of a self-interest that trumps the Township issues or because of some strong idealogy that overrides their interests as Cranbury residents.
It just proves what is already obvious with every incumbent state-wide getting re-elected, which is that the system is broken. Most people are voting blindly. |

Its only been 2days and the democratic corruption is already coming to light. Ex-Trenton lobbyist alleges 3 year affair with N.J. Democratic chairman, denies stalking (but what about the political favors?) I wonder how much dirt we will truly see when the Christie administration moves into Trenton permanently.

| In addition to the idealogical progressives noted by previous posters, there are a lot of state workers, union workers and low/moderate income families in Cranbury, many of whom have a vested financial interest in democratic control of state government. Republican rhetoric tends to alienate these groups. My guesstimate is these groups total at least 600 voters. Kudos to those who voted against Corzine anyway. |
