Musical Candidates for the GOP in the 1st District

by: Jason Springer

Mon Jun 22, 2009 at 11:30:00 AM EDT

They're swapping candidates in what Republicans view as one of their best hopes for a pickup, the 1st Legislative District:
Frank Conrad has left the First District Assembly race, and John McCann - an Ocean City real estate agent and politician - is poised to replace him alongside Mike Donohue on the Republican ticket, Donohue said Sunday.

Party leaders in the area learned of Conrad's decision at week's end. The Upper Township committeeman cited a need to concentrate on pulling his small highway-safety-equipment business through the recession.

But over at Politicker, Wally speculates it may be more of a campaign team fail:
Conrad is citing business and person reasons, but sources strongly suggest that a key reason for ending his Assembly bid is that he could not get along with his running mate, Mike Donahue, or his campaign manager, Peg Emberger.
Whatever the reason, this latest swap in the first district, gets added to the fact that the GOP state party has said they won't support the Republican candidates who won the primary in the 3rd and the recruitment fiasco in the 14th District to pick candidates. You wonder how much of a role Jay Webber will play and what will change under his leadership of the party going forward.

Republicans attack Corzine - a tasteless joke?

While Governor Corzine lay in a hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator - going through multiple surgeries - family and friends holding their breath, praying for a speedy recovery, the Atlantic County GOP Chairman was busy cracking tasteless jokes about him.

In what can only be described as pitiful and disgusting, here's what Atlantic County Republican Party chairman, and Rush Limbaugh worshipper, Keith Davis wrote about Corzine (what he calls a joke): Link:

Laugh a little

Five Surgeons from big cities are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon, from New York, says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second, from Chicago, responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon, from Dallas, says, "No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.

But the fifth surgeon, from Cooper Hospital in Camden shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. No guts, no heart, no brains and no spine, and the head and the buttocks are interchangeable."

Get well soon Guv!

Update [Juan]: Atlantic County Democratic chairman Ron Ruff issued a statement in response which is below the fold.
