'DIRTY TRICKS' IN JERSEY?

In New Jersey's senatorial campaign, Republican candidate Tom Kean Jr.'s aides are charging that opponents "already have resorted to Election Day dirty tricks."

Last night, vandals chained shut the Kean campaign's headquarters in Mountainside, N.J., and broke keys off in the door locks to prevent entry, according to aides. "It's Jersey ... this is not surprising," Kean spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker told us. "It's the Menendez campaign, or their supporters," she added, but without offering evidence.

"It's just a lot of noise," was the response from campaign aides for Democratic incumbent Bob Menendez. They say they have "thousands" of lawyers at polling places across the site, especially where they expect problems - such as Essex and Hudson County, two big urban Democratic areas.

Menendez's folks are checking out a report of electronic voting problems in Essex County, where voting machines are reportedly defaulting to certain candidates rather than voters' choices.

Dem dirty tricks in Jersey? Who'da thunk it? New Jersey Democrats are never corrupt or sleazy.

"It's the Menendez campaign, or their supporters," she added, but without offering evidence.

She’s freaking Columbo and figured it out all by herself.

I offer no evidence that the reporter is an asswipe, but you know he is.

"It's the Menendez campaign, or their supporters," she added, but without offering evidence.

Who else would it be?!

Sheesh. Reporters.

[VRWCmember]

If she had surveillance video that clearly showed Menendez and his campaign chief were the ones that did the vandalism, the reporter would complain that they were violating his right to privacy.

I heard on FOX News Radio that voters are complaining that when they step into the booth the electronic voting machine has Menendez already lit up.

[stanz]

That's a way of life in Hudson county.

[TheBigB]

Sheesh. This entire day is already getting surreal. I'm wondering if we'll ever have an election without lawyers getting involved agian.

"We will make America safer" said Howard Dean, but without offering evidence.

"The Democrats are the alternative to the Republican Culture of Corruption", said Harry Reid, but without offering evidence.

"Jim Talent wants to kill sick people", said Michael J Fox, but without offering evidence.

"I am not a completely insane barking moonbat", said Keith Olbermann, but without offering evidence.

Wow. NJ corrupt? Who knew? /sarc

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL! Funny but true!

[Dems_R_Losers]

Amazed that DNBC actually reported this!

[mak5]

No. Al Gore has established the principle that it isn't over even after the people have spoken. He failed to show the class that Nixon did in 1960 and has thrown the legitimacy of all of our institutions into doubt. That is the legacy of Gore.

[ozoneliar]

Do we have lawyers on the ground in NJ?

[Thickman]

Now that's LOL funny!

"I just botched a joke" said Jon Carry without offering evidence.

[OldFriend]

We expect nothing more from Menendez. He knows he cannot win a clean election so he resorts to dirty tricks.

[BigSkyFreeper]

On one hand, the Democrats scream and moan about the electronic voting machine, then on the other hand they're busy tampering with the electronic voting machines.
