Unify the NJ GOP Behind Murray Sabrin

Murray has the most volunteers, has raised the most money and is the most credentialed person running. A PhD in Economics is what we need in times of an economic crisis. Then why do they not support him? Because Murray has done what is right and stood up for truth when it may have not been politically convenient.

The biggest fear they have is if he is elected he will literally take over the GOP in NJ for the next 6-years and many of his 90+ candidates will win election on his line if he's elected.

Andy Unanue is still in Vail! He's certainly not going to stay in this race. When the "conservative maverick" John McCain is urging others to run so Murray won't be the nominee, you know there is something wrong.

Murray would be the most conservative member of the U.S. Senate -- correction -- he will be the most conservative member because the hundreds of thousands of supporters nationwide will help get him elected!

Please contact the NJ GOP and urge them in a civil manner to support and unify behind Murray. I will post e-mails and phone numbers later.

From PolitickerNJ:

John Crowley will not seek the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, and Andy Unanue is now reconsidering his decision to drop out of the race, as Republicans continue their quest to find a candidate to face off against the winner of the Frank Lautenberg vs. Rob Andrews primary.

Crowley, who wanted to run, has been unable to transition out of his role as President and CEO of Amicus Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. He had announced last Monday that he would not run, and then reconsidered after GOP presidential candidate John McCain and NRSC Chairman John Ensign called and encouraged his candidacy.

Unanue, the millionaire heir to the Goya Foods fortune, appeared to be the leading candidate two weeks ago when, at the urging of several top party leaders, he entered the race on Easter Sunday. But his Senate bid suffered a series of setbacks: news that he lived in New York City, allegations associated with his firing at Goya, a drunk driving conviction, and his refusal to shorten his Vail ski trip to introduce himself to party leaders and voters. Unanue is still in Colorado.

The likely front runner now is State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, a Morris County Republican who has won organization support in Bergen, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passaic, Salem and Somerset counties. But national Republicans and several key state GOP leaders have been reluctant to back Pennacchio because of his perceived inability to raise the millions of dollars needed to mount a credible general election campaign, and because of issues relating to a controversial 94-page manifesto he wrote in 1991 that, among other things, suggested government camps for the homeless and the elimination of Medicaid.

A fourth candidate, Ramapo College Professor Murray Sabrin, the leader of the New Jersey Ron Paul for President campaign, has the organization line in Gloucester County. But Sabrin, the 1997 Libertarian candidate for Governor, is not considered a viable choice by establishment Republicans. Yesterday, conservative leader Steve Lonegan canceled his appearance at a Sabrin fundraiser in protest of the negative tone the Sabrin campaign has taken.
