As I said Friday, I think the Osama tape makes a big difference in New Jersey. Tri-state people feel 9/11 deeply. And seeing that bastard again reminds us that terrorism should never be considered but a “nuisance” by the president of the United States and/or his key advisers.

A reader makes this suggestion, which, hey, if they don’t have plans…: “Bush, Koch, Giuliani, Pataki and Bloomberg should greet NJ commuters at Penn Station and/or Hoboken on either Mon or Tue. Would get national play and work for NJ.” One caveat: Totally leave Bloomberg off that list. W. would lose votes.
