Andy Kim (NJ - Senator) voted for Kristi Noem [View all]

I'm old enough to remember being told I would HAVE to support him at DU if he was the nominee.

Told all y'all. I saw his behavior up close and first hand. Cleaning up the floor of the Capitol does not make one brave.

And now - he has a job for the rest of his life.

He will never be Senator Lautenberg. Never.

For the record - We've never had a black governor or governor of color so I'm for Baraka or Spiller in the Primary.

Ultimately irrelevant. Zero Republicans voted against her so she was assured of confirmation regardless of Wiz Imp Jan 25 #1

Disagree JustAnotherGen Jan 25 #2

It makes a difference to you, and that's understandable and fine. Wiz Imp Jan 25 #3

So just vote No JustAnotherGen Jan 25 #4

How about integrity? choie Jan 25 #7

I didn't say they shouldn't be criticized. But no, I'm not going to get crazy upset over a vote that had not impact on Wiz Imp Jan 25 #9

That's even more reason not to vote for her. choie Jan 25 #6

Why aren't the dems who voted for her choie Jan 25 #5

Then he needs to be challenged in his next primary. Absolutely unacceptable! SheltieLover Jan 25 #8

Governor - I'll vote for the candidate who promises to give state pensioners a cost of living raise. 3Hotdogs Jan 26 #10
