If I were handicapping the 2009 Governors race in New Jersey I’d make Jon Corzine the heavy favorite. Sure the current Governor has a low approval rating right now and the state is in financial chaos but tell me who would beat him in a re-election bid? Corzine still has the unions on his side…at least for now and the Republicans have no high-profile candidate on the horizon.
Plus 2009 is a long way off and a lot can happen.
The only way John McCain can get elected President of the United States this November is to appear younger and he can at least make strides by not dressing like an old man. Somebody in the McCain camp has to tell him to stop wearing those sweaters under his suit. Not only does it bulk him up but he looks about 80 and we all know appearance comes into play especially when one of the knocks against McCain is his age.
It’s time to wonder about the direction of the Monmouth University Men’s basketball program. The Hawks are going to suffer their second straight losing season and just Tuesday their leading scorer Jhamar Youngblood announced he is leaving the team and will transfer to another school. Head coach Dave Calloway is a former Monmouth player who has had success
but I don’t get a sense that there’s a lot of excitement over the program.
Monmouth will be moving into a new basketball facility in a couple of years and they will need to put a better product on the court if they want to fill it up.
Toms River is without question the capital of high school sports in New Jersey. This time of year thousands to people come from all across the state for basketball and wrestling at the Ritacco Center and the Bennett Indoor Complex just completed a busy and productive indoor track campaign. These visitors are also good for the local economy as some stay in local hotels and certainly spend money in local restaurants and retail stores.
