Franks Gets Schundted Aside

Schundler wins the NJ Republican primary. Remember, that was the conservative guy. Well, it’s going to be an interesting election season. New Jersey and Virginia are the only two states with governor’s races this year, so this should get lots of attention.

I don’t think Schundler should be underestimated. Even the campaign of Democrat Jim McGreevey, who has been running for governor almost constantly since almost beating Christie Whitman four years ago, seems slightly unsettled by this win. For four years he’s been preparing to run as an outsider against Trenton and the state Republican establishment, but now it turns out the Republican nominee is an outsider, too. And unfortunately, I think Schundler has a decent chance of winning.

“We’ve got 45 drawers on Bob Franks and only one on Schundler,” according to a researcher for the Democratic State Committee. “We’re going to have to throw the Franks drawers out the window.”

Anyway, are you bored yet? I guess by now my secret is out. It’s true: the real goal of my blog is to educate all of you about the intricacies and machinations of New Jersey state politics! All that gay stuff and angst was just a ruse.

At any rate, assuming all goes well, I know who’s getting my vote in November. The choice is clear.

I’ll be voting for the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City.
