Although Merkt's campaign is considered a long shot, do you really have to put his campaign down in the title of every story?

Is there a standard for any story related to him? "Merkt(who has no f'ing chance of winning) ran through Hoboken today."

Every story title is the same. Pizarro clearly has some sort of agenda against this guy.

I don't know anything about Merkt at all personally, but damn Pizarro, can you try to sway people away from supporting him anymore?

Are you sure Merkt isn't just pissed at
Christie?

he'll take conservative votes away from Lonegan, which would HELP Christie.

I used to live in Morris County years ago and I recall getting campaign junk mail featuring Christie and Merkt on the same ticket. It seems Morris is their base so I would think Merkt will hurt Chrisite in that heavily GOP county. I predict Lonegan will win because the yahoo wingnuts in the backwater districts will go to the polls while the country club brie-and-chablis RINOs have better things to do, and the ones who don't will split their votes among Christie, Merkt and Levine.

but Dick Zimmer, without a compelling campaign and even lines, still won the primary with a pluarlity. Yes Sabrin played the "spoiler," but we can assume that a third or more of Sabrins votes wouldnt have shown up for any mainline Republicans, and the rest would have split evenly between Pennachio and Sabrin.

I would have pegged this as at 55-40-5 Christie-Lonegan-Merkt a month ago. Now with Levine in and Merkt playing this serious, Id say it may end a close 3 or 4 way race. Plus everyone forgets Dale Florio has to give Levine a hearing hes a home-county candidate.

Levine can raise money? It doesn't seem as though Merkt has made a real dent. And CC hasn't *technically* gotten in the race.

I guess he'll to prove he can "run," but he should figured out a gimmick to prove he should run.

He is just going to ensure the conservative vote will get split and NJ will have a RINO nominee. This happens every time; the "RINO status quo" elite that runs the party always blow in one or more conservative's ear great promises of party support, playing to their egos, then they cut them off at the knees leaving their real choice to win and it is always a RINO. When will these dreamers learn?  Don't trust the NJGOP leadership!!!

"Study the Constitution,  Let it be preached fom the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislatures,and enforced in courts of justice." ~ Abraham Lincoln 

Republican Conscience is right . . . unless one of the conservatives drops out and gives all of his support to the other, the GOP will nominate YET ANOTHER RINO. Dem lite = Dem victory.

By why quote Lincoln? Lincoln was the biggest, most blatant and consistent ignorer/violator of the U.S. Constitution in U.S. history . . . even greater than Teddy Roosevelt and George Bush. When the "courts of justice" criticized Lincoln for his unconstitutional suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus, Lincoln issued a warrant for the arrest of the Justice who wrote the opinion. It was never served because Lincoln couldn't get a U.S. Marshall to serve it. Following the War To Prevent Southern Independence, the Supreme Court declared such an action to be unconstitutional. If Lincoln were still alive, I'm sure he would have issued another warrant. Lincoln was the original big-government loving RINO.

With the assumption that Christie enters the race, I suspect that he has the advantage of state-wide name recognition with those that actually read the newspapers and/or follow politics. Sometimes political junkies assume that everybody is as educated on the candidates and issues as we are. The reality is that most people are highly uneducated in this regard. For now, I am keeping an open mind on all the candidates who choose to ask for my vote.

Much momentum will come from pure name recognition and the ability to raise the necessary money to get their message out there for mass absorbtion. Again, I suspect that Christie may have an advantage in raising the necessary funds due to his name recognition. Unless one of the other candidates can put together a dynamic message that resonates in a big way, I fear that this will end up being a two-man primary race with one of the candidate as a big leader.

The RINO issue discussed in the above posts is a real and valid concern, but there are too many Republicans in NJ that believe that a truly conservative message will not fly. So, they end up supporting a middle-of-the road candidate that they think has a message that will resonate more broadly with moderates and liberals. I hope the McCain experience we have just been through will be the wake up call that helps true conservatives to fight this tendency to go with a watered-down message. The message must be lower taxes (business, property, and personal income), a less intrusive government, a transformation in how we go about treating businesses currently doing business in NJ and attracting new businesses to NJ, a focus on cutting spending on wasteful and/or ill-conceived programs, and lastly, really bring transparency and integrity to the political ranks of a state that is considered, by many, to be one of the most corrupt states in the nation.

Wep we do agree that he is pissed off in a way or another.

PASSAIC – The city stood at City Hall, or so it seemed, as a large crowd gathered to give its blessing to Mayor Alex Blanco, who tonight announced his intentions to run for mayor again, with the backing of U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-Hoboken), State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Cryan and Passaic County Democratic Chairman John Currie all present to augment the voices of the people.
