With The Help Of Jim Kenney, Jersey's Boss Norcross Crosses The Delaware Into Philly
In effect, Jim Kenney was elected mayor of Philadelphia one year ago-- May 19, 2015. That was the day of the 6-way Democratic primary, when Kenney won with 55.8%. His closest rival, Anthony Williams got 26.1%. When November rolled around he beat Republican Melissa Lynn Bailey 85.4- 13.2%. DWT's infatuation with Kenney as a progressive champion was ill-advised and as short-lived as our infatuation with Bill de Blasio was.
Alex Law: "There Is Nothing Wrong In Any Of Our Districts That Can't Be Fixed With What's Right In Our Districts"
The video just above is one of the best congressional campaign clips I've seen from anyone anywhere. Please watch it. June 7 is going to be another SuperTuesday, a congressional one. California, Iowa and New Jersey have red hot primaries pitting grassroots progressives like Lou Vince, Pat Murphy and Alex Law against establishment hacks like, respectively, Brian Caforio, Monica Vernon and Donald Norcross. South Dakota, New Mexico and Montana have primaries the same day but without the fiery contests.And Law's isn't the only congressional contest that needs to be watched in New Jersey.

Why Should Marijuana Legalization Be An Election Issue In Congressional Races?
If you follow this blog, you may be aware that I stopped using drugs in 1969-- December 1, 1969, to be precise... in my VW van at the Ganda Singh Wala border crossing parking lot between Pakistan and India. Last year, suffering from the side effects of massive chemotherapy treatments, I reluctantly decided to try to cope with the pain and other side effects by using marijuana again, which my doctor approved of.
Demands For Wasserman Schultz To Step Down As DNC Chief Are Growing On A Grassroots Level

Will Alex Law Actually Hoist The Norcross Machine On Its Own Petard?
Team AlexIt's been a long hard climb for Alex Law in his campaign for South Jersey's first congressional district, currently controlled by the blatantly corrupt Norcross Machine, which installed Donald Norcross last year when their last puppet, Rob Andrews, was told my federal investigators to either resign immediately or face prison.
Political Machines Steal Elections... It's What They Do-- And That Doesn't Just Mean The Evil Republicans
DNC Chair-- and congressional payday lender stooge-- Debbie Wasserman Schultz is certain that if she wound up on the witness chair in a court case she would be able to get away with her serial attempts to sabotage Bernie Sanders' campaign on behalf of her old crony, Hillary Clinton. How do I know? She was bragging about it to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business News Monday morning. "There is just no shred of evidence to suggest that I’m favoring Hillary Clinton...
