Sherry you need to go to church today. Your remarks are very insulting to many. I have the advantage of seeing both sides of the aisle because I have been behind both parties. I have a long list of things I like and dislike about both and it comes down to the people who are so sour among the Republicans that caused me to vote for a Democrat for the first time. I read a lot of Republican opinions and shudder to think I ever was one of them.

I do not believe that Christie ever speaks as a Republican; he did the keynote speech and then became the Governor of New Jersey. The two party candidates who are currently trying to run a part of the race are nothing but castrated sheep. Many of us respect Bloomberg and my daughter often writes for his publication as well as Forbes. We tend to see these men as Americans first.

We know what we get with Obama and being a Mormon for most of my life, I know what we get with Romney. I choose Obama based on the fact I have two grown grandchildren who will be in the line of fire when we go to war with Islam.

He was about as popular as cancer in NY BEFORE the storm. Now it seems, they would like to tar and feather him (Doug, I bet you know some folk who could handle that!). I have friends on Staten Island, and needless to say they are more than a little upset the Mayor is using resources (like generators and first responders) for the marathon while the people of devastated S.I. are suffering without power.
As a voter, endorsements don’t sway me one way or another. Endorsements are usually more for the endoser rather than the candidate. It makes press.
As for Christie, his state is desperate for help. NJ is reliably democratic, so Christie needs to do what he needs to do to get help.
Obama does play politics with FEMA money. When Pulaski, VA was hit hard by a tornado, FEMA help was a long time coming. I guess our GOP governor should have licked some Obama boot like Christie did.
