Kellyanne Conway Looks at NJ Politics and OUr New Governor
Kellyanne Conway and her husband have a blog on Blog Row over at National Review Online, Reconcilable Differences billed as “Two Conways, Two Takes”. The most recent post “Badlands” features Kellyanne’s take on current state of New Jersey politics and stuff.
Kellyanne is a conservative newsbabe, often feature on FoxNews, so she’s not too fond of our new governor and has a good recap of his liberal/progessive history, Carla Katz, etc. She also mocks the recently enacted smoking ban. And she notes her hubby got a junk mail solicitation “…referring to “far-right extremists” and a “small, but increasingly powerful faction” that believes that “they alone can decide what it means to be a Republican.” No, it wasn’t a Hillary fund raising letter but a plea from Christie Todd Whitman who is taken seriously by at least a few people in media. Whitman is still pushing the tired old “the republicans need to abandon those knuckle dragging neanderthal right wingers and go with moderate candidates” line. Note to Christie: NJ republicans selected a moderate for governor, Doug Forrester, while passing over several more conservative candidates including Bret Schundler. Result: double digit loss. Now, please Mrs. Whitman, go away.
Kellyanne has the right to take shots at New Jersey. She’s a native of South Jersey, I think Bridgeton, and in her youth was a New Jersey Blueberry Princess.
