Halfacre will press on
Mike Halfacre is committed to going forward in the primary race for the GOP CD 12 nomination. "Between now and June 8, it is retail politics and Scott Siprelle is not a retail politician," said Halfacre while he and his campaign manager Tom Fitzsimmons where breaking down their greeting table.

Hopefully, after Mike has had a chance to reflect, he will decide that mounting an insurgent campaign against Sipprelle is not in the best interests of the party and will only hurt our chances of tossing Holt out in November. Mike also hopefully will understand that he will be hurting his own political career if he tears the party apart in the primary. Mike is a young man, and will have future opportunities. We need to start coming together now as a party.
Mike Halfacre is to foolish and vain to drop out.
No narcissistic career politicians needed, BuB Bye, Halfacre.
ok, it's still America, but it's nearing time to throw in this sweaty towel..hope we've learned to balance the opposition research and attack-mode sarcasm with the positive..
if a classy little breakfast, way better speech, and such a vote spread doesn't show "retail politics", what does?..just wondering..
If Halfacre continues along this divisive path, it will do nothing positive for him, for the party, or for the tea party movement. If Sipprelle loses to Holt in November, Halfacre will forever be remembered for that loss. Our entire country could suffer because of Halfacre's choice. If that happens, and if this campaign fights on much longer, we no longer have to banter back and forth about what this race really is all about for Mike Halfacre; it will be clear. Who will wear the crown of the "bad Republican" or RINO then?? I agre with the first anonymous post: WE NEED TO START COMING TOGETHER NOW AS A PARTY.
Note to Fitzsimmons: this ain't about Christmas tree farms and never was. Your guy lost because you failed to see that a primary battle has to be waged differently and with decorum.
This is not my district but I have been following it with perverse entertainment. Sorry, I know the mess is not good for a united R party, but it has been entertaining. In any event, what I found so strange was that this being a Monnmouth County focused blog and posters being Monmouth the anti Halfacre sentiments seem so strong. Is "Mayor Mike" someone who rubbed people the wrong way even before he decided to seek this nomination? Just curious as he seems to have a high "dislike" factor. How did he garner these local enemies?
Postitive, Halfacre drops out! Now that is postive. Halfacre should be ashamed of his campaign, see it backfired, just like Lonegan's nasty campaign. Told you here it woud backfire and it has and will continue to backfire.
The 6th Ladies are just that, Ladies and honor their party no mud slinging going on! Admirable.
I don't see how halfacre can continue without completely marginalizing himself for good. Their in no purpose proceeding as he's going to lose Monmouth too.
IMHO Mike should finish out the line-awarding process in Monmouth and Hunterdon as a "thank you" to his supporters and then immediately bow out of the race. If he takes the "high road" and throws his support behind Sipprelle, he limits the damage he's done to himself, preserves his ability to run in the future and helps build the momentum to throw Holt out on his ear. How he handles this will be a very clear test of his character. Was he in this for the long-suffering voters of the 12th, or for Mike Halfacre?
Hahahaha..."long suffering"....that's a good one.
C'mon Rush!You Rocket Scientist, you.
go ahead, keep being proud of the most liberal clown in the Congress: Sippy's gonna mop the floor with him..
As someone who was inclined to support Halfacre initially, watching Halfacre self distruct on this page was painful enough. One must wonder if Art was a Sipp plant told to goad Halfacre on to ensure his total self distruction. Hopefully Halfacre will smarten up and step aside and life to fight another day. We can only wonder what Halfacre would have posted here if he won the line and sipp ran against him in the primary.
If Halfacre wins the line in monmouth which i am sure he will he still has a very good chance of winning the primary.
I am not voting for him but if I were him there is no way I would bow out yet.
The guy has been working hard on this for a while. Probably has just a good a chance as Sipperlle of beating Holt and is clearly not out of the race yet.
If he looses the line in monmouth he is toast but as I said that is not likely.
