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.

Thanks for the 411. Las Vegas has a wonderful Italian population (and a dandy San Genaro feast and festival) and I quickly found some places that sell authentic supplies for my ethnic cooking!
I don't miss NYC much at all except that occasional live Yankee game! ;-)
What, in your opinion, makes Schundler a RINO compared to other candidates around the country?
Bret Schundler bump...
What's his screen name?
Don't Know.
Beware Quinnipiac,their polls are always agenda driven and have little if anything to do with reality.
I agree with you, NY & NJ have turned into a dirty, corrupt, hedonistic, out of control tax & spend sewer.
I am planning to move to Florida in the next two years, much less nanny state intrusion and the Heavy/Highway Construction market is booming, unlike NY & NJ which have zero money for infastructure but unlimited amounts for social engineering of all manner and fashion, (all bad).
The Democrate mantra "We can fix everything, if people were'nt so selfish and would give us enough money"
Yea, when pigs fly.
I was born and raised in NYC until I grew so alienated that I left for higher ground in Las Vegas, NV. Best move I ever made! Good luck! ;-)
