Giuliani coming to district 12
By Matt FriedmanIn the ultra-competitive district 12 legislative race, the Republicans are breaking out the big guns.
Rudy Giuliani is scheduled to make an appearance on behalf of Republican legislative candidates Jennifer Beck, Declan O’Scanlon and Caroline Casagrande, according to campaign spokesman Tom Fitzsimmons.
The appearance is scheduled for a Thursday rally at The Excelsior in Manalapan at 3:30 p.m.
“Rudy Giuliani could very well be the next President of the United States. He’s exceedingly popular in New Jersey, especially with people who have moved from New York to New Jersey,” said Fitzsimmons. “I think it speaks volumes that he’s taking time out of his busy schedule to come and speak on behalf of Jennifer, Declan and Caroline.”
Mike Premo, campaign manager for Beck’s opponent, state Sen. Ellen Karcher, didn’t think the visit would have an impact on the race.
“If endorsements mattered, Doug Forrester would be governor now.”

Fastest flip-flop ever
Someone doesn't read their own campaign's press releases:
"The final push will have the Senator meeting with residents and organizations throughout the 12th District, highlighting her record and the endorsements she has received."
the flying monkeys are in retreat
a pathetic but almost soulful shriek was heard inside the Karcher camp today, "I'm melting! I'm melting! Ahhhhh..."
resurrectingreagan
Funny you should mention that! Somebody actually caught behind the scenes footage of the inner workings of Ellen Karcher's campaign operations.
Needless to say, it's not a pretty sight!

Premo's quote
Could be the worst of the campaign season. I don't even know what he's trying to say...that most of the media or politicos endorsed Forrester over Corzine? Bigger names supported the Republican over the Democrat? That anyone coming to visit for Karcher is equally meaningless? You'd think they'd be better prepared with a message than that. I would have thought they'd take a shot at Rudy. I guess they think that would hurt them more. Doesn't bode well for '08 then. Weird.
Lock up your daughters...
Guiliani is bringing his family values to Monmouth County!!!
Someone should let
the good former prosecutor know about Beck's blatant disregard for law and public safety. Oh yeah, she said she was a renter so her DUIs should be forgiven.
On Sept 10th 2001....
Rudy G was a political bum, dead in the water.
He's shamelessly built his whole new carreer on the blood of the 9-11 victims.
Fear and loathing; thy name is Giuliani.
You can't fool all the people all the time.
Karcher wins.

poho, you ignorant slut -- again
catch the APP today? Not sure failure to use a directional signal or any of the other two violations can be considered DUI, you libelous fop!Your Ice Queen's bag of tricks is empty and her campaign is imploding. Nice work. And as for Nick Lento, that blood of 9-11 victims you speak of came also from nearly 700 residents of the Monmouth area so better check your anger there before those victims' families start thinking you speak for Ellen, you vile prig!
rudy sucks
Rudy is a classless jerk who alienated full communities of people when he was mayor. We need a leader who will bring people together, NOT drive them apart.
Giuliani Going
Tell that RINO to stay home with the "DEVILS OF DOOM" the Clintons.
