It appears that Bret Schundler no longer is the "candidate of choice" of Lewis Eisenberg and his associates, based on the communication from an Alan Steinberg.
If I remember correctly, Mr. Eisenberg was a former partner of Jon Corzine's at Goldman-Sach's, a former DemocRat, and an individual who has set up a PAC to aid "moderate" Republicans and defeat conservative Republicans. He was also a backer of the discredited liberal RINO and former governor of New Jersey, Chrissie Whitman. (Ms. Whitman, a limousine liberal and unabashed "Rockefeller Republican" has recently written a book available now in bookstores, attacking conservative Republicans.)
The respondent's employment of the canard "McCarthyism" says it all. It shows where these people are coming from and what they think.
Conservative New Jersey Republicans would do well to reconsider any intention they might have had about voting for or supporting Mr. Forrester.
By the way, Donnie "D" DiFrancisco was a RINO and former temporary governor of New Jersey when Chrissie took flight on her broom to Washington to serve as head of the EPA in Bush's first term and demonstrated her lack of gratitude while in that position. Donnie was either defeated in a primary in New Jersey last gubernatorial go-around or withdrew, I can't remember which. He failed to support nominated Republican candidate Schundler and attacked him during the general election, if I recall correctly. One of the reasons Schundler lost last time around was because he was perceived as "too conservative" by liberal Jersey RINOs like Donnie "D" and his ilk. Donnie D was an outspoken supporter of gun control if I recall correctly.
Ahh, the Byzantine intracacies of New Jersey politics never cease to amaze me.
If there are any residents of the Garden State out there who have information to the contrary on this subject, please present it. Sometimes my memory isn't very good, and being away from there has cut me off from recent antics by the New Jersey Limousine Liberal Rinos.
I'm REALLY glad I no longer live there!!
I don't think Bret Schundler was ever the choice of any of the insider, back-slapping, mutual-hand-washing crowd of the NJ Republican Party.
Oh great, more from the saga of "Who gets to finish Second to Commrade Corrzine?"
"...McGreevey and Sharpe James made their backdoor Newark arena proposal..."
Scandalous!
Schundler's attack on Lew was McCarthyism (guilt by association) and slander at its worst.
"I have always been a conservative through and through, but this [insert invented outrage] has me steaming mad! Most of my friends were going to vote for [insert conservative candidate] but after this, we've all decided to vote for [toe-sucking liberal creep] now! We've looked at his positions, and he really seems to be the best candidate for the job!"
Thanks for the insight Zulu.
I'm sorry you don't live here anymore but you can still vote in NJ right! ;-)

Madison, Wisconsin.....finishing school for RINO's
