The race for Assembly in the 8th district is already seems up to full speed. Republican Incumbent Scott Rudder and challenging Democrat Bill Brown have been going back and forth over veteran's issues this week.

Yesterday, Brown called on Rudder to sign his petition and condemn the comments made by Laura Ingraham about the Navy Seal Snipers. Rather than answer Brown's call, Rudder tried to tout his work for veterans citing past efforts with Brown as an example. That prompted Brown to put out a release giving examples of how Rudders efforts were for show including this tidbit:

Scott Rudder has introduced more legislation pertaining to feral cats than veteran's causes.

Ouch. Brown then responded that Rudder had time to put out a press release, but not sign his Ingraham petition. Fasten your seat belts, it's only April.

Ironically, Brown wrote to Rudder in January:

"[Thank you, Rudder, for] helping our efforts to improve the educational opportunities for New Jersey veterans.... Scott [Rudder], Your military service and voting record are real evidence that your [sic] all about helping the men and woman in uniform.... I also know your [sic] a friendly and down to earth guy who doesn't do things for publicity. (One of the reasons I like you)."

Brown's explanation of his earlier support:

While Scott Rudder did take meetings with me and offered to champion my causes, his actions quickly made it clear that he was only doing so for show, and he had no desire to actually fight on behalf of Veterans
