Passaic GOP endorses Pennacchio for U.S. Senate

I think this endorsement speaks to the fact that outside of a very small minority of people who actually pay close attention to the political world, most people do not know about the manifest and will not take the time to read it.  The story that broke yesterday was buried in today's paper and is really of little consequence.

Sure, Sabrin supporters are going nuts, but Sabrin has never been a Republican and will most assuredly never get an endorsement from GOP leadership.  Sabrin has run against Republicans as a Libertarian and as recently as last week claimed that he will run an opposition slate to GOP-endorsed candidates.  Face it Sabrin supporters, it'll be Pennacchio or a late-comer on the ballot this November, for better or worse.

As for the left, you guys run around telling us that Obama never knew the true feelings of a close friend, confidant and pastor as recently as last year and that it should not affect the campaign.  Now you're saying that a paper of ideas written 17 years ago will torpedo Pennacchio's campaign.  Come on, people.  This is ridiculous!

Look at Pennacchio's tenure as a legislator and listen to what he says in his stump speech.  Judge him on his record and then choose to either vote for him or for Sabrin.  It's that simple.

You're right that they probably didn't know about it... but that doesn't mean it's over. It will be brought up again, no matter who the person running against him is. But don't spread these lies around... of course Sabrin is a Republican. And if you understood what the Libertarian party is about, you'd know that they are much more Republican (Conservative) than the current people in the Republican party. I've been a Republican all my life... Sabrin has the longterm momtentum needed. He has the donations and the excitement / fans. Pennacchio doesn't have that and I guarantee you, if he goes against Lautenberg, he will lose. I think Sabrin has a better chance simply because he has a different kind of momentum and has already brought in the independent supporters (and the money from donors).

I still think the agenda gives some good material for negative ads to Lautenberg in a general election, and with that kind of money those ads can do some serious damage. We haven't seen it now, but we will probably see it in the general.

But overall, most primary voting republicans could care less about a 17 year old document that has some rather crazy ideas.

it was politically expedient for him to switch parties.

That's funny Eric, because I was thinking that Bill Baroni was ONLY a Republican because it WOULDN'T be politically expedient for him to switch parties, so he wins as a Republican and votes like a Democrat.

The Sabrin campaign must be in a panic now. Its got to be embarrasing to lose to Joe Penn a day after the manifesto was published.

Its time for someone new to step in. Joe Penn's campaign is damaged beyond repair, and Murray Sabrin's campaign is impotent.

seems that Murray Sabrin loves losing because even in the unlikely event that he somehow wins the nomination, he has run a divisive campaign.

He lost the campaign the day he announced that he was going to field his own slate of delegates. Talk about a boneheaded move that will split the GOP.

will vanish from the scene after the Primary until next year and the Governor's race.  Sabrin's people are charter members of the "Short Attention Span Theatre".

Murray Sabrin sowed the seeds of his demise when he announced that he was going to field his own slate of delegates.  And he continues to dig himself deeper into the hole every time he calls on someone to resign.

Is  anyone ever going to take up my challenge to name something in Pennacchio's actual voting record that is considered "liberal"??

How about 2.5 Million Dollars to dredge Greenwood Lake? Thats a start.
