GOP leader wants Kyrillos to enter Senate race

He makes a lot more sense as a US Senate candidate than Joe Pennacchio and certainly head and shoulders better than Anne.

Yes, I would put Senator Kyrillos second behind Murray Sabrin as my choices.

With 4 months to go, no money or organization and most of the County Chairman bought and paid for, sorry, I mean, lining up behind Anne, is it to late for a 4th candidate?

Joe Kyrillos was an absolutely spinelss state chairman.  He is and was such a "go along, get along" kind of guy that he never stepped up to the plate and defended what the R's accomplished during the 1990s.  When McGreevey found it easier to announce that he was gay than to face the music about the corruption that was rampant throughout the State House, Joe called it a "sad day for NJ."

He should have said, "McGreevey has been an abject failure who sent NJ down a pathway of corruption and that he should resign immediately."  Instead Joe was go along get along.

At every opportunity that Joe had to stand up or sit down, he chose to sit down.

The only way the R's will beat lautenberg is to run such an aggressive campaign that FL is forced to reveal himself as the reincarnation of Mr. McGoo.

Joe Kyrillos just isn't tough enough for the job.

Adam Puharic is a classless and juvenile bully. He had a federal government job while serving as Monmouth County Republican Chairman, which is a direct violation of the Hatch act. Where does he work anyway? Is he still unemployed. This guy can't even hold down a job.

Kyrillos is a good guy. He is also close to Puharic. Puharic would not have said this without Kyrillos' blessing.

I don't live in Monmouth County but wish I did. Kyrillos is one of the few Republicans out there in our state who gets it. The rest of the field is a joke. I hope he runs. He'd be better than that fossil who's in there now.

Sorry if I offended your great grandfather Dark Lord. (what kind of name is Dark Lord any way? you must take the little bus)

Joe Kyrillos would be the best candidate the GOP has put up in decades. He has the ability to unite both the conservative and moderate factions of this party as he is uniquely qualified. His run against Pallone in 92 was a long time ago and Joe proves that he can raise as much as any Democrat they can put up in November. Kyrillos would blow out the field at this point. He has been a leader on a ton of issues. He has a long record of accomplishments to run on. I say go Joe.

Senator Kyrillos has been a leader on the most important issues facing New Jersey. He is far and away the best possible Republican for U.S. Senate, and frankly, for Governor.

Joe should absolutely get into the race.

Why would Senator Kyrillos want to run for the US Senate, if there are already three declared candidates? Perhaps, to split and divide conservative vote so that the moderate Estabrook will get the nomination. And we know where that leads us into. Nowhere, that's where.

 So let's unite behind one candidate that makes sense. This time it is Prof. Murray Sabrin.

By entering the race, Kyrillos wouldn't divide conservatives - He would give them a candidate to unite around. Along with moderates, and democrats, and independents

There are, however, definitely some important differences between Joe Kyrillos and murray sabrin, among which are credibility as a candidate and a record of accomplishment in elected office

You must be stuck in your bottle.  Kyrillos is spineless and exactly what GOP DOES NOT NEED right now.  While I agree completely that, as you said, "my great grandfather" is a fossil, Kyrillos has been in the game too long, we need someone with fresh ideas.

BTW, why attack me personally?  I did ride the short bus.  I happen to be in a wheelchair.  Sorry if my affliction offends you, but your attack only deminishes your argument, that, without such attacks, would have been thoughtful and a positive contribution to the banter. However, you seem to be nothing more than a geek who uses stock metaphors to insult people.

DARK LORD - IT IS NOT YOUR AFFLICTION THAT OFFENDS ME BUT YOUR OPINIONS AND ATTITUDE. IT IS HYPOCRITICAL TO PERSONALLY ATTACK SOMEONE AND NOT EXPECT A SMACK BACK. NOW QUIT WHINING, STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE, AND ADMIT THAT SEN. JOE KYRILLOS IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST.

ON TAX RELIEF, JOB CREATION, BORDER SECURITY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT KYRILLOS HAS A RECORD THAT FOSSIL LAUTENBERG CAN'T TOUCH...

I like Joe Kyrillos and my advice to him as a friend is... not this year.   NJ will go big for the Democratic nominee and not enough votes will cross over to elect an R to the Senate.
