NJ State Senator Buono tells Christy to MAN UP!! in there first debate

OUCH!!! that had to hurt when a woman tells a man to man up. She's saying he has no BALLS. The Buono campaign should use that as a 30 second ad.I didn't see the debate but looking at the comments below the article clearly most of the respondents are Christie lovers http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/christie_buono_disagree_repeatedly_in_first_gubernatorial_debate.html#incart_river

I mean - no doubt - the world will view it as "He won" . . . but NJ 101.5 - Jim Gearhart said she hit her stride. And that guy is FIRMLY in Christie's pocket. He also pointed (which I agree with) the problem with Philly and NYC monitors . . . they don't really understand the issues and did a 'talking points' debate.

I hope the next debate is a bit more meaty and she makes him lose his temper. I actually think she pushed his buttons this one for a reason - so he'll take off his kid gloves and not look so Presidential to the other 49 states.

but, unfortunately, some low-information people do. And the comments that many people post to their stories are simply "trollicious"

It's only fair to say what that is in relation to . . . i.e. she used a Republican talking point normally directed at President Obama.


Basically she told him that he's been in office for four years and to stop blaming Corzine her and everyone else. Please note we have 400K people out of work in NJ - and Christie raised our property taxes.

All she did is take a little polish off the guy and bring up with those of us in the know already know - Everything That Glitters is Not Gold.

He's really not doing a good job - but he even has Democratics outside of NJ convinced that he's unbeatable. Pretty sad if you ask me.
