Hopeful started a blog to watch Jon Runyan now that it appears he will have a clearer path to the nomination without a big primary fight. Following the news that Councilman Maurice "Mo" Hill would step aside and let Runyan have the clear path the other day, he made this observation:
Rear admiral and dentist, or football player and donkey farmer? I'd have thought America would be better off with the former, but as is usual with both parties in New Jersey, the political bosses won't let party members choose their own candidate.
As Hopeful says, this situation isn't unique. We'll see how the Donkey farmer holds up now that the the machine is lining up behind him. Hopeful's second post critiqued Runyan's interesting launch to his campaign the other night. I would like to remind him that Jon Runyan is also an actor, as seen in this McDonalds commercial:At their first debate, I think it would be funny to see Runyan and Adler do the chest bump rather than the handshake.
