Murray Sabrin prides himself in his support for fiscally conservative government policies, but he’s being quite liberal with some of his campaign donations.

At a press conference in Atlantic City today, Sabrin announced that all the money he raised during an internet “money bomb” between 2:00 and 3:00 this afternoon would be bet on a horse named Cowboy Cal at the Kentucky Derby tomorrow.

Sabrin spokesman George Ajjan is keeping the amount raised secret until tomorrow afternoon, when Sabrin will appear at Monmouth Park Racetrack to place the bet.

Frank Lautenberg’s campaign continues to assail primary challenger Rob Andrews on the Iraq War, claiming that the Democratic Congressman had more of a hand in the initial stages of the war than he’s let on. 

Lautenberg issued a press today saying that Andrews had participated in “closed meetings and telephone calls” with Bush Administration officials between the lead up to the war and 2006, and demanding that Andrews disclose the “times, place and subjects” of those meetings.

Andrews responded that he attended two Bush administration meetings with about 20 other Congressmen, both of which were  covered by the Washington press corps.

Two freshman legislators from Hudson County endorsed Rob Andrews for U.S. Senate today, bucking Hudson County Democratic Chairman/Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s decision to back Lautenberg.
