May be Randal Pinkett, a political novice but the winner of season 4 of “The Apprentice.” Yes, just what NJ needs someone who doesn’t know that they’re doing (especially given the fact that our president doesn’t know what he’s doing).
When you’re states at 8.8 unemployment (which seems like it’s not that bad but it’s the highest in 17 years and it’s the highest in the northeast), and your out of control spending leads to even higher taxes (which are the highest in the nation) and your poll numbers are pretty low (even though you’ve been running negative ads since the primary), then bringing in a “celebrity” might be the way to go.
And even with all that, he’ll probably still win the election. I’ve given up hope in the voters of NJ. They seem to think voting in the same people who raise their taxes (which they complain about a lot), will somehow bring about lower taxes.
