| Well, it looks like the easy race expected for 17th District Democratic Assemblymen Chivukula and Egan just got easier. GOP opponent Skip House just announced in the Home News Tribune Letters section that he isn't going to campaign anymore. Why? Because of an unscientific poll on the web site of a local daily newspaper.
Assembly candidate disappointed in voters
Benjamin Franklin's comment questioning if the people would be able to keep a republic was on my mind when I became a Republican candidate for the Assembly in the 17th District.
The Community Voices "Speak Up!" question on initiative and referendum raised my hopes that there would be an outpouring of interest in voters making their own laws. There hasn't been, and it is the issue I'm running on.
Subsequently, I'll not campaign actively anymore. Most people seem to prefer the status quo of high taxes, offset by politicians' irrational promises of greater benefits at no cost. Good luck with that pipe dream!
Matthew "Skip" House
Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Some random people who went to a web page and clicked a button don't support my issues, so instead of working to convince them I'm going to put my tail between my legs and go home.
The saddest thing is the only way he could get his race resignation in the paper was in the Letters section. Seriously, no one cared.
The Jersey GOP is collapsing right in front of our eyes. |
