Estabrook doesn’t get automatic nod from Gloucester GOP
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterGloucester County Republican Chairwoman Loran Oglesby may back Anne Evans Estabrook for U.S. Senate, but Estabrook won’t automatically get the party line there.
This week, the local party’s steering committee voted to endorse a slate of Freeholder candidates they won’t yet name, Rep. Frank LoBiondo for reelection in the second district and Republican long-shot Dale Glading to take on incumbent Democrat Rob Andrews in the first congressional district. But the committee couldn’t come to the necessary 5-2 majority to endorse a candidate for U.S. Senate.
Instead, the county committee will vote on its Senate pick at a convention.
“We decided as a committee that all three candidates really had a lot to offer and felt that they would all make excellent Senators,” said Gloucester GOP Executive Director Jeff Morris, who said that Oglesby’s endorsement of Estabrook was not made in an official capacity.

Quote of the Day
"Those who hold the power and corrupt the power are the ones that we're after. You know in Hudson County, is it shocking to know that most of the people we've indicted and convicted were Democrats? A Hudson County Republican would love to be indicted. It would show they were relevant." -- U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, on WGBO, "the world's premier jazz radio station."

Here comes the pain!
Don't let Estabrook's great looks fool you. She supports Democrats. As beautiful as she is, she isn't a Republican, thats for sure.
See this video for yourself, and then follow up and check the fact record.

Now Sabrin on the otherhand, although not nearly as attractive physically (sorry Murray, your not my type) looking at his record, you won't find any of that cross party line hi-jinx. Hard for many of the starving republicans to stomach, atleast you know what your getting with Murray: Honesty, Integrity, Intelligence, and the Courage to keep the democrats in check down on the senate floor.
And we wonder why the Republicans in this state get the snot knocked out of them time and again. Stop running these wannabe Republicans, and start running some real, hard core candidates with clean records for a change.
I hate to even mention Pinocchio. His latest gathering in Morris Plains yielded what, 18 people? Can we say NON-CONTENDER? Joe, your definitely NOT one of us, thats for sure.
Oh I long for a time when the Republicans were REAL, and had the balls to put the Democrats in their proper place. Now, most of them (I'd say about %65 statewide) are either sheep, or are too busy trying to use the Democrat playbook in order to keep the few remaining seats they still have left.
Is it not better to go down swinging in a street fight, then to beg for your opponent's mercy? Seems recently Republicans are looking for mercy from the Democrats.
Heres a predicition, If Murray isn't the nominee come June, Frank Lautenburg will maintain his Senate seat (and then retire and someone else like Torricelli or Corzine will take it..)
By the way, has anyone seen Frank?
P.S.
Dee Snyder Rocks!
Watch the guy in the pink pants (supposedly Dee himself). This is what Murray is going to do to Lautenburg during a debate..

Dr. Murray Sabrin is the GOP candidate this year.
I agree with previous comments.
Sabrin is the way to go.
Sabrin is the way to go. With all those Ron Paul supporters behind him, he's bound to get 3% of the vote!
Senator Prune Juice
Senator Prune Juice doesn't need to debate and probably won't. Whoever his opponent is, they will run ads, hold press conferences and print campaign literature asking why he won't debate and nobody will care. He will get away with it because of his age. Furthermore, none of the GOP candidates have the stature or name recognition to defeat him.
For what it's worth, nobody watches these debates anyway. Only us political junkies do. The only debates the general public watches are the presidential debates.
