Everyone has assumed christie would win, so nobody fought. Surprise! He's winning.

Left-wing radio of course (wcpt in chicago) I live in Iowa and am in the Bernie Sanders wing of the party.
Buono sounded fantastic to me - telling my wife tonight that if Howard Dean was still running the party he would not have just left her drift.
I think the Dems really fucked up by not even trying to put a dent in that asshole's resume. Plus it sounded like Ms. Buono could have been an outstanding candidate.
Sometimes I wonder what the fuck our party is thinking.
