race when Christie was already vulnerable due to his handling of Sandy. Dems had a candidate, Buono, she was a good candidate. NJ is a BLUE state.

The DNC appeared to be very enamoured of Christie for some reason. Not so much their own candidate.

Buono was given no help from the DNC, they 'wrote off' a BLUE STATE where the Repub was in trouble!! Then to make matters even worse, over 60 Elected Dems in NJ ENDORSED the Republican.

It was criminal! They LED Democratic voters to vote for Christie or stay home by sending the message, a lie btw, that Buono can't win, let's not waste resources.

That was a lie. She definitely could have won. She had no money. No major Dem came to campaign for her.

And I don't care what anyone says, the DNC under Wasserman WANTED Christie. They called him a 'moderate'! Were they kidding?

So as far as Wasserman's strategy, sometimes I think she wants a Republican majority. She needs to go and yesterday was too late.
