Joe Pennacchio

Zimmer continues to use spin to hide from the tax breaks he took for himself

Today State Senator and US Senate candidate “Jersey Joe” Pennacchio announced the endorsement of the New Jersey Conservative Party.

Today the campaign of US Senate candidate and State Senator “Jersey Joe” Pennacchio asked Dick Zimmer exactly how many bales of hay equal $1,000.

Joe Pennacchio's campaign has released internal polling numbers showing a dead heat in the race for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination in next week's primary election.  Pennacchio and Dick Zimmer are tied at 20%, with Murray Sabrin at 4%, according to a Pennacchio poll conducted by Neighborhood Research.  But the poll shows Pennacchio making strong gains over the last two weeks, when Zimmer led 23%-7%, with 4% for Sabrin.  "Zimmer's prior lead was a function of superior name ID," says pollster Rick Shaftan.  "Once voters learn of Zimmer's loss to (Bob) Torricelli, his inability to win back his old house seat and his decision to side with Clinton on illegal aliens, gun control and abortion his support collapses."

Dick Zimmer has a tough tradition to break:  no previously unsuccessful general election candidate for the United States Senate in New Jersey has ever come back to win a Senate seat.    Jeff Bell, the 1978 GOP nominee, lost a 1982 Senate primary; and Democrat Archibald Alexander lost U.S. Senate general s in 1948 and 1952.  One Senator who lost re-election, Warren Barbour, came back to regain his seat.

The Republican Senate candidates will participate in their fourth tomorrow evening at Stockton College.

The 90-minute debate is sponsored by Stockton’s Hughes Center for Public Policy and The Press of Atlantic City, and will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Townsend Residential Life Center on the college’s Galloway Township campus. It’s open to the public and free.

So far, this is the only Senate debate scheduled to be held in South Jersey.
