Zeitz thinks he can ride the Democratic wave against Smith

OMG this guy is already sounding like a moron! So, lets see, he already is doing the Dennison thinking that all dems will auto vote for him cause he is a D, and then he INSULTS the voters by saying they do not know Smith like they think they do.

And this guy  is ALL that? Zeitz is something super? LOLOL

Poor Zeitz; he will not realize that many dems support and keep electing Smith because Smith is a good guy and has a proven record.

Keep the idioicy coming 

More Cowbell Please !!

What an impression an upstart candidate like Josh makes when he brags-- not about the doors he HAS already knocked on or the coalitions he's ALREADY put together-- but about the 'consultants' he's hired. Talk about smoke and mirrors, give me a break.

Then Josh  makes another great first impression when he implies   that the voters are stupid and have been duped by Smith-- for 27 years nonetheless. Say Josh, if you don't win this November, sounds like you might have a future in diplomacy.

And then of course comes the knock on Smith that  he is 'out of step'. Well, Josh should start an alumni club after this election of former Smith opponents-- all unsuccessful-- who have used the same, tired talking point. That club is getting pretty big by now.

This latest  article about Josh Zeitz  now makes him 2 for 2 in the 'insult department'. Two articles, two insults hurled by Zeitz on fellow Democrats and the voters.

1. Last article he roundly criticized seniority on Capitol Hill, saying: “You can’t help but stop relating to your constituents.” Nice way to kick off Lautenberg '08, Josh!

2. This article, he says about Fourth District voters: "they don’t know Chris Smith as well as they think they do." Enlighten us, Josh, please! As serfs and members of the proleteriat, please let us know how to think.

I was just about to write and ask where is ol tool bag martin was.

Smith wins by a landslide!

With Saxton's seat and Ferguson's seat up for grabs, the NJ Democrats just don't have the money to wage an all out contest in the 4th district.  The run a major campaign in the 4th, you must buy ultra-expensive media in both the Philly and NYC TV markets.  Raising that kind of money would be tough in the best circumstances, but with big donors contributing mostly to the 3rd and 7th district races, Zeitz will be that sad looking guy on the street corner with a tin cup, holding a sign saying "Will spin for contributions."

Further, the notion that the voters don't "know Smith" is a joke.  Does Zeitz really want to base his core message on the idea that voters are idiots and ignoramuses?  Voters know full well that Smith is pro-life.  He wears it on his sleeve and is proud of his record on that issue.  But what partisan Democrats have never been able to accept is that he's given people who don't agree with him on right to life, reasons to vote for him anyway.  People respect that he means what he says, and does what he promises he'll do -- even if some of those things don't always square up with their own views.  Smith was a 'straight talker' long before McCain ever adopted that slogan.  Smith was a 'compassionate conservative' before Bush and Rove ever coined the term, then discredited it over the last eight years.

Democrats need to understand that people in this election cycle are not looking for partisan hacks.  Which is why McCain won his primary, and Obama is looking closer to winning his.  They rejected partisan stalwarts like Hillary.  The only difference between Zeitz and the other parade of old political hacks that have lost to Smith is that Zeitz is a younger partisan hack who will lose to Smith.  Smith thinks for himself and votes his conscience.  He takes on entrenched interests -- even those in his own party -- when he feels he's right.  What entrenched interests in the Democrat party has Zeitz ever taken on?  He's a knee-jerk, down-the-line liberal Democrat who is utterly indistinguishable from any other Democrat. 

At least when Kevin Meara ran against Smith, he was unusual in that he was a pro-life Democrat with a reasonable position on gun ownership rights.  But even Kevin Meara lost (although in his defense, he raised nothing in that race).  And now Meara is basically a Republican.  Like most Democrats with common sense, he figured out a long time ago that there is no such thing as a "big tent" in the Democrat party if you take religious faith seriously.  Only moral relativists and those who ridicule and belittle people of faith need apply. 

The fact is Josh Zeitz is going to get crushed in the election against Congressman Smith.I think Josh is a legend in his own mind and is starting to believe the nonsense he writes in his" books".Congressman Smith is a man of great integrity,honesty,and is respected by Democrats and Rebublicans alike.Congressman Smith is a great humanitarian and always fights hard for his constituents.Most of all Congressman Smith is a independent thinker who is not afraid to go against Washington and fight for woman and childrens rights.We are at war in this  great country of ours and the last thing we need is to have a neophyte like Josh in any leadership position ,unless it is the manager of  the Barnes and Noble book store.

Zeitz is as irrelevant as Martian One. Both are in Wonderland if they are truly believing that there is a chance this kid can beat Chris Smith.  I wonder which one is playing the role of Alice?  Chris is loved by his constituents and has the record of working for the environment and support from the unions which draws Democrats to support him. His fundraising numbers are actually higher than in previous years. So it won't be too much trouble. And keep beating the Iraq dead horse Martian. The surge is working. Ask John Murtha. Or better yet, ask the majority of the Democrat Senators who did not want Harry Reid to bring up the issue in the Senate earlier this week. They, too, know it is a lost public relations ploy. But you Camden County Norcross Democrats know better than the rest of us, right?
