"The ordinance wasn't in effect. When it is in effect, I will abide by whatever we put forth." – Delran mayor Kenneth Paris, the sponsor of a local law that would limit township vendors to a $300 campaign contribution, after he awarded a lucrative engineering contract to a firm that donated $5,000.

Chewbacca may be the best candidiate
If you look at this field, I think its pretty clear that Chewbacca is best suited to carry the mantle of the NJ GOP:
Papa Smurf: this guy is a non-starter. He is way too liberal, a person of color, and runs a commune. Plus he has no money.
Michael Jackson: this is a possibility. But that sex scandal is probably too much baggage. It's a shame, because otherwise he is a good social conservative (see "Billie Jean".)
Anthony Soprano: he could self-finance, but too many false allegations against him. It could hurt him in the general.
Chewbacca is perfect. He doesn't say much. He is tall and photogenic. He has a military background, and could self-finance from that reward he received for blowing up the Death Star.
EXCELLENT!
This may be the best effort to date. I love this one.
Mr. Carrick
Should be writing for SNL, he's hilarious.
Papa Smurf all the way!!
Papa Smurf is the ideal candidate. Forget Chewy, he's just another John Ginty!

Thanks guys!! Keeping reading and Catch Some ATTITUDE!
That's not Michael Jackson
It's Carla Katz with straight hair!
Very Good
Very Good
Yeah, but Chewbacca is not a good speaker
When have we every elected anyone to statewide office in New Jersey who could not speak clearly and coheren......oh, nevermind.
I bet
that Chewy is prob better on his feet than Tom Kean Jr. (I know that is a low blow-but the sound of that man's voice is simply terrible)
How about Tom Wilson?
He is tall too.
I don't think so
I don't think so, SJBlue. I feel Kean Jr. is a very good speaker.
