NJ GOP Recruits Only The Best

The hits just keep coming... (0.00 / 0)

This is the state of the NJ GOP.  "Jersey Joe" loses party support to newcomer "NYC Andy" for the NJ Senate Race.  

This has to be one of the worst campaign kickoff weeks I have ever seen.  Other than the fact that he has money and can self finance, has he had 1 good story?

What next, he's not really an heir to Goya, just some guy who likes the food?

Just amazing.

Wow. (0.00 / 0)

This is glorious.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

someone get Ajjan a blog (0.00 / 0)

I love this part of the politckernj.com story:

George Ajjan, a spokesman for rival Republican candidate Murray Sabrin, said that influential Republicans, in their haste to find a new candidate, had failed to vet him properly.

Perhaps the failed party bosses like Adam "big mouth, little ears" Puharic, should do a better job of vetting candidates before they try to ram a slick New York inhabiting nightclub owning playboy down the throats of the hard working Republican rank-and-file," he said.

What about income tax? (0.00 / 0)

The real issue for me is where does he pay state income tax; New York or New Jersey?

What if his last name was "Clinton"? (4.00 / 1)

Carpetbagging worked for her, why not him?

Seriously, this is a silly argument.  Hilliary had no ties to NY before she decided to run for Senate from there.  

If you want to beat up this guy, do it on his policies.

No, it's not. (0.00 / 0)

The point isn't that he lives in New York and wants to run in New Jersey.  That's perfectly legal.  In fact, he could live in Paris, France and run in New Jersey as long as 1) he's a citizen and 2) he moved here before election day.

But the point here is that he is registered to vote in New Jersey at an address where he doesn't live.  That's voter fraud, and we usually don't elect people engaged in voter fraud to the United States Senate.

There's also the issue of his vehicle and other registrations and whether they are legal if he doesn't live at the address where he's listed them.

Point taken... (0.00 / 0)

However, all he needs to do is go before the NJ State Supreme Court.  They like to "bend" constitutional and statutory law, especially when it comes to the election of US Senators.
