Volunteers for possible U.S. Senate candidate John Crowley – directed by former Republican State Committee Executive Director Brian Nelson – were circulating nominating petitions tonight at the Somerset County GOP convention. At the request of several Republican U.S. Senators, including presidential candidate John McCain and NRSC Chairman John Ensign, Crowley is reconsidering his decision not to run.

Now, we know who is behind it!
Shame, shame, shame on you all. How come the Sommerset GOP allowed this petition to circulate there. Who authorized it there? I want to know the names now! Was Brian Nelson allowed to speak there? He was circulating illegal petition there for undeclared US Senate candidate. What a scandal!
John Crowley
If the vote in Somerset County is used as an indacator, political insiders must know John Crowley will decline to run for the U.S. Senate.
State Senator Joe Pennacchio announced today he is in the primary election to the finish.
If committee people had any reason to believe Crowley would run, the committee would have voted for Andrew Unanue at the Somerset County Republican convention.
How do you hand Joe Pennacchio the county line and then tell him we found a better candadate, you don’t.
If they handed Andrew Unanue the line and he dropped out in favor of Crowley, the committee would be able to save face.
My bet is Crowley is not running.
As one who has
gone out "hunting" for signatures, it is a time consuming process. With the weather this weekend, it is going to be a literal slog.
Crowley won't run
If he has someone standing at a convention trying to get signatures, he's never going to get anywhere near 1000. I've been through this process before. It's not something you can throw together in three days and if your campaign manager is out getting signatures that's a pretty bad sign.
It would be
an entirely different race if Esatbrook could have laid off the trans fats.
