You are absolutely correct. The Schundler campaign has been unfocused, to say the least. Local Republican headquarters cannot get advertising supplies (lawn signs, bumper stickers, etc.), requests to help make phone calls or hand out fliers go unanswered, it's really a mess.
As another poster said, the fact that the spread is only 10 points is a glaring example of how weak a candidate McGreevey is.
That other poster was me, too! LOL!

Don't be so sure that the problems your local Republican headquarters is having isn't of their own design.
The state GOP are as afraid of a Schundler victory as the Democrats, and are actively working to undermine his campaign.
Political campaigns in NJ are usually like pro-wrestling matches. The two sides bluster and yell, smack each other around a little in a choreographed dance, then one guy wins and the two of them go in the back and have a drink while they divvy up the spoils. They won’t mind a McGreevey win in the least. He’s their teammate.
Contact the Schundler campaign directly if you want to help. I’ve had no trouble volunteering or obtaining lawn signs from them. And the Bergen County GOP headquarters is enthusiastically cooperating, you can volunteer there any night you want. They are also looking for volunteers to do lit-drops this Saturday (call them at 201 487-5551).
Or contact Kathryn English at krenglish7@earthlink.net to help.
As to the lawn signs, and bumper stickers --- they have constantly been ordered, reordered and sent out. We get numerous calls saying that they never see the lawn signs, but As soon as they are placed, they are removed by the McG people. They used to do it at night, but now they blatenly do it during the day. There was a group removing our signs yesterday, dressed all in black. Today, one of the staff wanted to confront another group, but they were BIG BURLY guys. What's a person to do? A group of the staff from HDQ did manage to bring charges against one McG person who was removing signs, but you can't patrol the entire state.
Have you been making phone calls, or helping with the flyers? I'm curious.
