An article by Salvadore Rizzo in the Star-Ledger this morning, gives an insight into the sort of cold and calculating world of national politics. The article talks abut how the Nation al Democrats backed their decision to give virtually zero support to Gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono because the Virginia race was a better investment. Besides the obvious fact that it was, and that the partys lack of faith in Buono really was not unfounded, it does lend insight. Nationally, to the insiders and strategists, politics is very much and always has been a numbers game, and an investment just like any stock on the stock market and the cold truth was, no matter what your beliefs are; elections are won by candidates not ideals. and the truth is, Barbara Buono was a bad investment that opened in the morning trading low, and closed out even lower. However, this is also why politics is a gamble for the wizards behind the campaign curtains. Because when (not if) Christie goes national, Democrats need o understand, they got what they paid for.
