Effort to Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano to Run for U.S. Senate Against Bob Menendez in 2012 is Launched
As the national political maneuvering for a nominee to oppose President Obama in 2012 slowly gains momentum, many in New Jersey are looking not only at changing the direction we are currently headed in by replacing one leader for another in the White House. They are also looking to help turn this nation around by replacing one of the individuals who represents our state in the U.S. Senate. And the man they seek to do that with is Judge Andrew Napolitano.As such, today one grassroots Republican activist has introduced a website that intends to test the waters in an attempt to draft Judge Napolitano in to next year’s U.S. Senate race.
Anthony Del Pellegrino the creator of DraftNapolitanoNJ.wordpress.com states that this campaign to draft Judge Andrew Napolitano to run for the U.S. Senate from New Jersey "is a manifestation of disatisfaction with a political process that has become controlled by career politicians." He adds that this campaign to draft Judge Andrew Napolitano to run for the U.S. Senate from New Jersey is based on three basic factors.
According to Del Pellegrino, defeating Democrat incumbent Bob Menendez in 2012 is essential to advancing a limited, constitutional based, government and defeating Menendez is just as important to the future of our nation as is who we elect for President in 2012.
“The balance of power could be held in the hands of New Jersey where, depending on whether Republican win the vice president’s tie-breaking vote in 2013 or not, Republicans could pick up the third or fourth seat they need to wrest control of the United States senate away from the liberal led Democrat majority that currently exists and which Menendez is a part of” , said Del Pellegrino.
At the moment the G.O.P. is poised to go through an election cycle inwhich they could easily win seats currently held by Democrats in North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, and Missouri. They also have a good chance to win Virginia, New Mexico and Wisconsin. But a defeat of former Governor Jon Corzine’s hand picked successor, Bob Menendez, could insure Republicans control of the senate.
"In the recent past, New Jersey Republicans have failed to nominate a candidate strong enough to defeat Menendez. Instead they ran with establishment candidates who were career politicians and only offered New Jersey voters the opportunity to replace one career politician for another", said Del Pellegrino.
New Jersey has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1972 and some believe that the current slate of possible candidates for the Republican senate nomination have little chance of breaking that drought. Yet they do believe that Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court justice, can.
Judge Napolitano, who is currently the chief judicial analyst for FOX News, represents all the principles that voters reinforced in the 2010 midterm elections.
Andrew Napolitano is a devout scholar of the United States Constitution, and understands that it is a document that is being abused and circumvented by power-hungry legislators in a runaway legislative process. His respect for the law and the founding principles of our nation are unsurpassed and is only part of a solid foundation for representing the people of New Jersey in the United States.
Unlike Bob Menendez and more so than any of the other current potential 2012 G.O.P. senate nominees, Judge Napolitano knows that government can not be effective or sustained by spending more than it has. He also knows that it does not serve the people by reaching in to their pockets and spending their money on unsustainable federal programs that cost more than they are worth. Andrew Napolitano truly understands that the government which governs best, governs the least and he knows that the true greatness of this nation is based not in its federal bureaucracy, but its people.
For these reasons, today the Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano for U.S. Senate effort begins.

Ever seen the Judge and Joe Pesci in the same room?
Would mean the judge would immediately have to leave TV lest his opponent demand equal TV time.
The best nails are not used in shoeing horses, nor the best men used for soldiers, and certainly Judge Napolitano would be wasted as a mere senator!

He would be good in the Senate and it will make his conformation easier when either Bachmann or Palin nominates him to the Supreme Court.
Great point.
When Arapaio and Bolton are DHS and Sec. of State, hopefully things will improve as well.
And Tom Fitt as Attorney General
