Stender on the trail
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com Reporter
MARTINSVILLE - Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Fanwood) said the fact that her 7th Congressional District opponent accepted an endorsement from President George W. Bush, $5,00 from Exxon/Mobil, and advertising capital from the Bush-backing Freedom’s Watch, make it hard to classify state Sen. Leonard Lance (R-Hunterdon) as a moderate.
“It all adds up to someone who will continue Bush’s policies,” said Stender at a buck-up-the-troops stop here at Somerset County Democratic Party headquarters on Sunday afternoon.
She also objected to Lance’s tagline that he’s a fiscal conservative, citing his support for Gov. Christie Todd Whitman.
Even if he suffered silently during the Bush era, Lance went along with a party that backed President George W. Bush and his policies.
“I think people have had it,” Stender said. “They’re fed-up. As a candidate who’s been out there, I know there’s a wave coming on Tuesday. We literally have an army of volunteers – a spectacular operation.”
Better financed than Lance in this Republican-leaning district, the Stender campaign and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) have been laying down a steady barrage of cable television advertising and eating some Lance backlash ads in return.
“We’re into survival mode at this point,” said Stender as she kept moving.

Fahrenheit 451
In this article, Max Pizarro tried to list all the books that Linda Stender wants to ban..
..but a list that long would crash the server.
Will NJ-7 voters side with the 25% Bush/Cheney approvers?
With the vast majority of Lance’s support coming from the 25% of voters that still approve of Bush/Cheney and supporters of Mike Ferguson, a Tom Delay clone, can undecided NJ-7 voters expect Lance to be a “stay-the-course” congressmen? Supported by the ads of Freedom Watch, financed with carpetbagger money from Las Vegas, and personal fund raising by Bush; how can Lance be trusted to be any different than Ferguson? America’s other deficit: Leadership is only addressed with common senses governing, the remedy to Bush’s absurdities.
Stender is a complete joke...
Her elec reports are peppered with special interest money...she's pinocchio in a dress.
Real Question
Will NJ-22 voters side with the 35% who back Corzine's agenda when Stender runs for her Assembly seat again next year?
Both candidates have run horrible campaigns but, fortunately for Lance, more people have seen Stender's bad ads than Lance's bad ads.
If Hsing had any money and brains he could have actually been a factor here.

Linda has been out of her league since she left municipal and maybe county government. At best, she can remember "talking points" but times needs cue cards for even that. It's not all her fault though. Her team had a two year head start on Lance and will outspend him by a few million. Hers was a truly inept campaign and will rightfully be listed as such on Politicker when the dust settles after Election Day.
