Biotech millionaire John Crowley will enter the race for U.S. Senate before the April 7 filing deadline and is poised to receive some organization support in his bid for the GOP nomination. Republican sources suggest that at least one candidate will defer to Crowley and drop out of the race next week.

Quote of the Day
May 16, 2008
"The saying about Dominicans is that we have two things in our blood — baseball and politics. We are passionate about politics, and just about getting involved."
-- Cid Wilson, a Leonia resident and past president of the national Dominican American National Roundtable, on the growing influence of Dominicans in New Jersey politics.

Where is the petition?
Has anybody seen his petition?
Here's his website
http://crowleyfornj.com/
wow
It didn't take long for (i'm guessing) Sabrin supporters to pull out the knives.
That website is pathetic.
That Site
Just a question here..
Who's funding that site and don't they have to disclose who pays for the site?
Ridiculous Lies
We all know politics can be a dirty game, but this is just absurd. We can play these games or stand behind a strong candidate who is going to do the best possible job for New Jersey. It seems many of the comments and information on that site are purely one-sided from Marilyn House. There isn't even a shred of disclosure on the site... pure amateurs. Let's try to avoid the games of deceit we often see in politics, and go for the right candidate, John Crowley. Even the former FBI Director, Louis Freeh, is quoted in The Cure (a book about Crowley's struggle to save his children) as saying that Crowley's life is "A gripping account that will inspire. It is a how-to guide to fighting despair with hope." This my friends, is what New Jersey and America needs in a decision maker... someone to inspire and fight despair with hope.

The Website Is False
The website crowleyfornj[dot]com is false. It has quotes from Dr. House.
Dr. House is a TV show. (You know, that show with Lisa Cuddy: http://www.lisacuddy.com/).
Crowley Attack Site
That site is in such poor taste that it inspires me to assist Crowley simply to spite its creator.
Looking good
Money, good story, business man....
This candidate is looking good...
And don’t forget, he can appeal to the Hispanic community!!!
Oh wait, that was the other new millionaire candidate .. (Last week’s favorite son)
Hard to keep track …
To Who Dat
You are vile POS..........welcome Mr Crowley to why NJ politics is in the gutter and all we have serving in office our low lifes who can't make it in the private sector.....
What do you expect from these miscreants?
Should this vile amalgam of cyber trash come as a surprise? These self-styled keepers of the eternal conservative flame are the political equivalent of the Manson Family. Their mesianic vision for the Grand Old Party does not incorporate plebian concepts such as mutual respect or even common decency.
As for the "Commish, AJ Sparxx", you should hold off on rendering judgment on Crowley until you find out whether or not he's pro-abortion. If he is, then I'm sure he's your kind of candidate ... you know ... like Kate Whitman. It must be interesting trying to reconcile one's outward conservative bravado with the inner child that can sell out the unborn for pony rides at Pontefract.
Thanks, pal
Hey Martin Two,
Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind ..
Crowley is in, really?
Is his petition in yet?
Why on earth is he a good candidate? The human story does not make a candidate. The business experience does not make a candidate. The money does not make a candidate.
His system of values, his character, his believes, and his supporters make a successful candidate. So far, I have seen none from Mr. Crawley. The fact that he is Johny come late, please ask me some more, and Mr. undecided spell a lot of trouble ahead. A successful business leader does not agonize over a simple decision if he should run or not for the US Senate. He would not need to wait for other people to call him and convince him to run.
By the way, I feel sorry for his family. They are in for a rough ride.
