Q-Poll: Schundler SURGES!!!
New Jersey is not for sale
Forrester’s smear campaign backfires; tax-hiking, salary-doubling, ‘drunken-sailor-spending’ liberal’s 11-point “lead” collapses to two points in four days
(MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ) – Schundler for Governor communications director Bill Pascoe – reacting to the release of a new poll by Quinnipiac University, showing that in the space of just four days, Bret Schundler has surged as Doug Forrester has collapsed – this morning issued the following statement:
“New Jersey’s long-suffering, overtaxed homeowners have seen through Doug Forrester’s smear campaign, and are poised to select Bret Schundler as the Republican nominee for Governor, to take the fight for permanent and dramatic property tax reduction into the fall campaign.
“The results of the new Quinnipiac University poll released this morning could not be clearer: two things are happening – New Jersey Republican primary voters are rejecting Doug Forrester’s ugly smear campaign, and are preparing themselves to cast a vote for a serious assault on the nation’s highest property taxes.
“From day one of this campaign, Bret Schundler has forced this race to focus on the one overriding issue concerning the citizens of New Jersey: the outrageously high property taxes that are forcing retired seniors to sell the homes in which they raised their families, and which are preventing young couples from purchasing homes of their own.
“Bret’s Permanent Property Tax Reduction Amendments are the basis of the ONLY truly serious property tax reform proposal. Both Doug Forrester and Jon Corzine have offered “plans” that are nothing more than thinly-disguised shams. Doug Forrester last week even complained that Jon Corzine had “stolen” his plan, for crying out loud!
“Just as importantly, Doug Forrester’s multi-million-dollar-television-extravaganza-smear-campaign has backfired. It is one thing to hit an opponent hard with a factual documentation of his record – as we have done, in pointing out Mr. Forrester’s record as a tax-hiking, salary-doubling, ‘drunken-sailor-spending’ liberal. It is quite another thing to invent wild charges and outrageous allegations in a desperate attempt to buy an election.
“New Jersey Republican primary voters are poised to hammer home a one-two punch tomorrow. By voting for Bret Schundler, they will be sending a message – they demand action NOW on property tax reform, and they are offended by multimillionaire liberals who think they can buy an election.”
The Quinnipiac University poll released this morning shows the race for the Republican nomination for Governor has tightened to a statistical tie – Doug Forrester with 35 percent, Bret Schundler with 33 percent, with 5.4 percent margin of error. On June 1, a Quinnipiac poll showed the race at 40-29, with Doug Forrester in the lead.

When is the primary?
P.S. Is Schundler in fact more conservative than Forrester?
This is just the primary race poll. The GOP has almost no chance in the general election in the 'Armpit of America,' NJ.
Look at the sample....waaaaaaaaaaaaay too small..Doug will win not that it matters
So is this a conservative or RINO candidate?
Whoever wins the primary will immediately become less conservative after tomorrow.
The tidbit on the local news this morning was that Forrester pledged not to outlaw abortion in the first trimester if he is elected.
Schundler is mayor of Jersey City. The first Republican mayor in a long time. In fact, the last time before him the city had a Republican mayor, Russia had a czar.
The change has been dramatic. Jersey City has become an extension of the Wall Street area and property values have skyrocketed.
Ping
Schundler is the former mayor of Jersey City.
The primary is tommorow?
My question was meant to be, who here is a conservative and who here is a RINO?
It'll be like trying to decide whether to eat the jellied cauliflower quiche or the peppermint bacon tofu.
I thought stricter Conservatives supported Lonegan.
Schundler is more conservative than Forrester. Schundler has spirit and some charisma. Forrester is a more laid back Nj type of conservative (ie - boring)
"Forrester is a more laid back Nj type of conservative (ie - boring)"
An "Eat your spinach" Republican
Yes Bret… Great news, I wanted him to be the Gov last time around, and this time as well… Well I’ve met him couple of times as the mayor here in Jersey City…. A great individual who I think will make a great governor… He came to power in the one of biggest Dem Organization… Hudson County… Because Jersey City has turned around, our Waterfront is on the prime places for big Wall Street Heavies to Relocate too…
Forrester has made sure to give the Dems enough ammunition to squash anyone he may lose to in the primary. As if they needed any help.
Going off to harass more Joisey-ites in about 10 minutes.
