[Son of Soprano]

So Forrester is for real, and Treffinger is sucking wind -- not to mention Diane Allen and John Matheussen. It's now crystal clear this is a two-man race for the GOP nomination, and Freepers will have to decide between Treffinger and Forrester.

For me, that choice is easy. Treffinger can't be trusted farther than you can throw him. He's a typical machine pol, the kind who cuts deals all day long to get what he wants. Unfortunately for Essex County taxpayers, it seems a lot of those deals are being paid for with THEIR tax dollars, which Treffinger seems to view as his personal political slush fund.

Forrester, on the other hand, isn't a career pol, doesn't owe anybody ANYTHING -- not even any donors, it appears -- and is clean on the ethics front (if he weren't, Treffinger would have leaked it by now). Forrester is also ready to spend serious bucks to defeat the Torch, and comes across as a thoughtful, committed, honorable mainstream conservative.

I'm with Forrester. Any takers?

Was push polled by Mathewson yesterday.........lot of bashing of Forrester........so I guess Forrester must be the front runner......LOL.......I told the gal it was shame they had to resort to lies!!!

Wasn't Treffinger cited for FEC violations? How is he better than Torricelli?

What's Diane Allen's appeal? I just don't get it. Does she have the Elizabeth Dole Syndrome -- "I'm female so vote for me!" ?

Forrester -- he's got enough money to fund his own race. Don't know enough about him though.

We'll see. Should be interesting...
