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.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Nov 5 2009, 12:38 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury exit polls?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"> Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone was re-elected after being accused of taking money from legislative aides' paychecks and putting it into campaign and personal accounts.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />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.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Nov 5 2009, 12:10 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury exit polls?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Cranbury <br />Christie: 840; Corzine: 535; Daggett: 135 <br /> <br />This means that approx. 35% of our towns people do not understand the negative impact Corzine had planned for our beautiful town.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />This is truly scary to me, and for Cranbury</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed, Nov 4 2009, 11:52 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury exit polls?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Cranbury <br />Christie: 840; Corzine: 535; Daggett: 135 <br /> <br />This means that approx. 35% of our towns people do not understand the negative impact Corzine had planned for our beautiful town.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed, Nov 4 2009, 11:45 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury exit polls?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I do blame the democratic led TC for not getting the word out better about what a CORZINE administration would do in the Cranbury Press,etc. But there were still a bunch of meetings throughout the year and millions of posts on this very board that should have helped educate the local voter.

Cranbury has always been about voting for the individual not a party. If you vote only along party lines in local elections you are a dope.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I'm sorry, but your statement is just not true. I like Dave Cook and have nothing against his election. And I am a Democrat for what it's worth. But your statement implies that those wanting to vote against the Democrats currently are responsible for politicizing the local elections when the truth is some of us were voting against Democrats precisely because the current Democratic Township Committee members politicized it. I have never voted against my party until I moved to Cranbury. But when I learned that the Democratic majority on the Committee were using party affiliation as a basis for selecting volunteer board appointees and freezing the Republican Committee member out of discussions and positions simply because of his party, that is what prompted me to cross the line locally even as I remained loyal to party federally. I agree that historically Cranbury government has been about individuals and not party, but the current Democrats on the Township Committee are responsible for undermining that. So for some of us it was about voting against that to try and restore the proper balance. <br /> <br />Hopefully Dave Cook will not align himself with Mr. Stout and Mr. Stannard who have so thoroughly undermined the tradition of our local Township government with their party politics and personal party ambitions over Township interests. If so I think you will find by the next election some people are less focused on party in the race.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />The statement implies nothing of the sort. It means what it says vote for the individual not the party. For example, If you voted for Dan and Jay because you thought, for instance, they had the best temperament and skill set for the job, great more power to you, you have voted well. If you voted for Dan and Jay simply because they are on the republican line, you are a dope.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />The point is some non-republicans may have voted for Dan or Jay simply because they were against the status quo of the controlling Democrats on the Township Committee just as many non-Republicans clearly voted for Christie more because they were against Corzine. Voting for someone because you oppose the alternative (whether it be the candidate, their positions or in the case of Cranbury their chosen affiliation with the existing Committee majority) is a perfectly valid approach. Mr. Stout and his alliance (that zones together 100 percent of the time) made local politics and about party first and some of us didn't agree with that even if we belonged to the same party. I wish Mr. Cook had not accepted the endorsement of Mr. Stout and I would feel much better about him but I nonetheless hold optimism that he will be part of a new wave of change on the Committee that can correct the tenures of Mr. Stout and his block. I give him the benefit of the doubt and wish him only the best.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>bumpkin</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed, Nov 4 2009, 12:00 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury exit polls?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>TC picnic? wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">How about holding an annual "TC families, friends, volunteers picnic" event?

Why?????</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Because Dave is a good guy who knows Cranbury well. It is time to stop politicizing the local election. Cranbury has always been about voting for the individual not a party. If you vote only along party lines in local elections you are a dope.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I'm sorry, but your statement is just not true. I like Dave Cook and have nothing against his election. And I am a Democrat for what it's worth. But your statement implies that those wanting to vote against the Democrats currently are responsible for politicizing the local elections when the truth is some of us were voting against Democrats precisely because the current Democratic Township Committee members politicized it. I have never voted against my party until I moved to Cranbury. But when I learned that the Democratic majority on the Committee were using party affiliation as a basis for selecting volunteer board appointees and freezing the Republican Committee member out of discussions and positions simply because of his party, that is what prompted me to cross the line locally even as I remained loyal to party federally. I agree that historically Cranbury government has been about individuals and not party, but the current Democrats on the Township Committee are responsible for undermining that. So for some of us it was about voting against that to try and restore the proper balance. <br /> <br />Hopefully Dave Cook will not align himself with Mr. Stout and Mr. Stannard who have so thoroughly undermined the tradition of our local Township government with their party politics and personal party ambitions over Township interests. If so I think you will find by the next election some people are less focused on party in the race.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />The statement implies nothing of the sort. It means what it says vote for the individual not the party. For example, If you voted for Dan and Jay because you thought, for instance, they had the best temperament and skill set for the job, great more power to you, you have voted well. If you voted for Dan and Jay simply because they are on the republican line, you are a dope.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
