Done with debates The two running mates in the guber- natorial contest kicked the week off with a debate at Montclair State University. Democratic Assemblywoman Sheila Oli- ver and Carlos Rendo, the Republican mayor of Woodcliff Lake, may have not been known to most viewers before the debate but soon showed how far apart they are on issues such as tax policy, im- migration and marijuana. It was also a fiesty matchup between the potential No. 2s, with Rendo labeling Murphy and Oliver most anti-cop, anti-law-enforcement ticket in the histo- ry of the state of New and Oliver saying that the election is about change and repudiating the Christie administra- tion.

Gua- default response is to conduct audits to cut spending. Neither of the candidates convinced moderators in either of the debates that those were sufficient methods to achieve their goals.

Guadagno still trailing The latest poll in the contest, from Fairleigh Dickinson University, puts Guadagno 15 percentage points behind Murphy. The Democratic nominee had the sup- port of 47 percent of likely voters, while the Republican lieutenant governor had 32 percent, according to the poll. It was the first poll since the Oct. 10 debate between Guadagno and Murphy, but the forum seem to help either one. A third of likely voters said they watched or listened to the debate, but there was no consensus on who outper- formed.

Poll director Krista Jenkins said that a number of factors are aligned against Guadagno: The electorate strongly dislikes her boss, Gov. Chris Christie, who had a 16 percent job approval rating in the poll A majority of voters align them- selves with the Democratic Party.

But as large a presence he is, Obama is not known for his coattails. Obama campaigned in New Jersey in 2009 for incumbent Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, who lost. Obama also cam- paigned for Hillary Clinton for president last year. She lost.

And in his eight years as president, 1,030 Democratic seats were lost in Congress, state legislatures and offices, according to The Associated Press. On Thursday, Obama urged the crowd to not only vote on their own, but to also encourage their neighbors, friends and relatives to head to the polls next month. you give away your power and then somebody does something contrary to your interests, not that fault. your Obama said. issue here is not what some- body else does.
