Glad to see the switch from Gottheimer, who’s unsurprisingly is running furthest to the right.

He's OK for a swingy House seat, but we can do better statewide.

Isn’t Gottheimer one of the crypto-currency cheerleaders?

Not sure but if he isn’t I’d guess he could be persuaded to be.

Can we have a moment though to give the man some praise for defeating one of the most staunchly conservative Republicans, at that time, in a district that was still voting Republican at the top of the ticket. There, moment over. :)

Agreed completely with this sentiment; I staunchly defended joe Manchin over the years here

Do you remember when downstate NY politicians were pissed that upstate NY Rep. Gillibrand was picked to fill Clinton’s Senate seat bc she was too moderate? Lol

Kind of a dick move to encourage him to run and then ditch him but yeah would rather have Sherrill take it.

If they're changing their tune based on his performance in the debate, it's not inherently a dick move IMO. I forgot what the quote was but someone (Paleo?) had a summary from it a few days ago and I remember thinking Gottheimer was sounding more and more like someone who wishes they could be a republican and less like someone who is moderate.

Could be they feel similarly afterwards. Or they were really impressed with Sherrill.

Which debate? Do you have a link to a video of it? I’m really curious.

There was a debate, I believe the first one, over the weekend. I didn't watch it but I found a video here. I assume it's the whole thing.

Mikie Sherrill is so far a strong gubernatorial candidate so if this helps her benefit, even better.

That said, I am still open to seeing how other candidates like Steve Fulop fare in the coming weeks.

It appears that Sherrill is very good at the politics thing

Sherrill may have a good shot at winning the NJ-GOV race.

Also, she would be the first woman governor since Christine Todd Whitman to serve the Garden State should she be fortunate to get elected in November.
