1. Someone needs to remind him on what side New Jersey fought in the Civil War.

This POS needs to resign immediately.

I'm all in favor of states passing state constitutional amendments preventing supporters of the Confederacy from serving in statewide elected positions. We need to put an end to this bullshit.

2. Recall the ass....

DUers in NJ: is that possible?

6. Election is this November

The sentiment on the ground is "rebel". No need to recall - I bet folks rebel against 45/140 and boot his ass from Trenton.

7. depends what part of NJ

There are some real redneck parts of this otherwise blue state.

His district is the northwest corner of the state (bordering NJ and PA). It is one of the larger LDs in the state and is pretty rural. NOt what you think of when you think of NJ (24th legislative district if you want to google).

3. The only thing Parker Space omitted was Charlie Daniels'

"The South's Gonna Do It Again".

4. Parker Space appears to be vacant of redeemable quality.
