Highlands Republican Art Gallagher reports on his blog that Senator Menendez wrote him espousing the benefits of legislation that Gallagher asked him to support, a month after Menendez voted against the legislation. What a two faced sleaze the Senator is.
I hope Tom Kean's campaign knows about this and hammers Menendez with it at the debates on Sunday (WNBC-TV at noon) and Monday (NJN at 8PM) and beyond.
Not since the NJ Supremes allowed Frank Lautenberg to come out of retirement to take disgraced Senator Bob Torricelli's place on the ballot have NJ Republicans had such a good shot at a US Senate seat. Let's send Menendez off to his new career as a lobbyist. I've argued that it is unwise for Kean to debate Menendez so early in the campaign, but since he's doing it, his numbers better go up after these debates or Menendez may not debate him again.
Some prominent Monmouth County Republicans have been critical of this blog for criticizing other Republicans and giving the Democrats material to use against us in the campaign. Given that any Republcans I've been critical of are not on the ballot or are out of office, I really don't see the harm. However, now that things appear to be on the right track in our county party, I will now be focusing on promoting our good Republican candidates and exposing their opponents weaknesses.

Mine too. Any criticism has been for the purpose of fostering debate; by having issues such as the PACs debated within the party, it actually helps defuse it as an issue for the Democrats.

Same here. And our opponents do have weaknesses.
(It's not going away, Lenny.)

I think its safe to say that the stealth PACS are no longer and issue, or at least they won't be in the fall as Adam will have that mess cleaned up.
As far as the purpose criticism being to foster debate, well, I'll admit I had an iron in the fire with a specific objective in mind. So far so good.
Internal debate in the GOP is good. It would be good if there was more debate within the Deemocratic Party I think. Strong parties should not discourage discourse...in America I mean.
It makes the communities better informed.
Wonder what "the line" is going to be about the "Republican bloggers"?
I don't know what "the line" will be, but I would certainly encourage Adam to enter the blogosphere. A Chairman's blog would be a welcome addition.
BTW, "Ronald Reagan" is back. As of today.

Oh! A jerk on the right!
From the looks of his post he's no longer paying to have his blog managed.
I'll be giving Dan the Wally treatment going forward. No since driving traffic to that trash
Looks like Menendez is about to grab Pelosi inappropriately.

Sounds good.

Maybe that's why she's smiling!
I think the debates during the suimmer are a good idea between the candidates.
It helps people get a frame of reference for the fall's main line issues and maybe assists the candidates in forming arguments.
Yeah, the Reagan thing was a bit over the top...like the NY Times having to die and all.
Too much? Probably.
I'm steering clear. Wouldn't want to get in the way of a good old fashioned book burning.
