Your post wasn't directed to me, but as someone who would have voted for Lonegan, I'll tell you why I'm sticking with Schundler:

Lonegan's got no chance tomorrow, neither do any of the other minor 5. Sure, some people may want to make "a statement" by voting Lonegan tomorrow, but it will be as useless of a statement in the long run as those who voted for, say, Pat Buchanan or Ralph Nader back in the 2000 Presidential election, or those who voted for Peroutka or Badnarik this time around. Lonegan's got the best views on the issues- hell, the guy would even remove some gun control and make us more like Florida- but he's got no chance, and a vote for him just makes Schundler's gap even wider against Forrester.

Therefore, by my "anyone but Forrester for the GOP nomination" line of thought, I'm going with Schundler- he's not as good on the issues as Lonegan, but he's close, and he's got a better personality. He might have a shot at Corzine, as opposed to Forrester who practically IS Corzine.

I really do not look at Steve Lonnegan as the equivalent of a Ralph Nader or Pat Buchanan and I will tell you why. Unlike Nader or Buchanan, Steve Lonnegan is actually a public office holder. Also, you must remember that Jim McGreevey, like Brett Schundler were also Mayor's. .
