A word of caution to candidates and volunteers going door to door on Saturday

Jen 082110 3904 (427x640)I don’t know how Greg Kelly missed this, but Saturday is the 10th annual World Naked Gardening Day.  (hat tip to Chris Fotache) This being The Garden State, well, it could happen.

Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon said he’ll be ready, just in case.

“The Libertarian side of me is willing to talk Conservative principles with anyone, regardless of how they are dressed, or not, on their own property,” said O’Scanlon,

“We need to take ourselves less seriously.  That there is a World Naked Gardening Day is hilarious.”

Mystery Robo Call In LD 13

robocall_SNLSomeone commissioned ‘phone ID’ calls in LD 13 that went out yesterday asking Republican primary voters if they planned to vote for Republican Senator Joe Kyrillos, Tea Party challenger Leigh-Ann Bellew or if they are unsure.

Listen to the recording here.

It was left as a voice mail at an MMM reader’s home.  The caller ID said the call came from 602-357-5922, a Phoenix, AZ landline listed to Danny Crosby.

None of the competing campaigns or candidates will cop to paying for the call. There was no ‘paid for’ disclosure.

‘Phone ID’ calls are not polls, per se.  The data collected is used for get out the vote (GOTV) planning.

Governor Chris Christie’s reelection campaign raised $500,000 at the Middletown home of Newport Capital Group President Domenic DePiero, according to sources familiar with the event.  The fundraiser, chaired by State Senator Joe and Susan Kyrillos, was the most successful Christie fundraiser to date, including the February fundraiser at the Palo Alto, CA home of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Former NFL player Christian Peter, listed as a supporting member of the host committee on the event invitation, did not attend.   “The only big guy I saw was Christie,” one donor said.

Christie Launches TV Ad, Buono Responds With Plea For Money

Governor Chris Christie launched a $1.2 million television ad campaign this morning entitled Jersey Proud.  Thankfully, the ad does not mention the words ‘Corzine’ or ‘Democrats.’  It does include a photo of Christie with Sea Bright Mayor Dina Long, a Democrat who has endorsed the governor for reelection.

Buono Dawn Quixote2State Senator Barbara Buono, the presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee dubbed “Dawn Quixote” by MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews responded with an email plea to her supporters asking for money.

I’ll keep this short. Chris Christie went up with his first ad of the election today. If we want to respond we’ve got to hit our goal by the May 6th deadline. There isn’t a moment to waste – Christie will spend millions to try and hide his failed record, and we can’t afford to fall behind.

Can you click here and donate today? Your contribution will be matched 2-1.


That means for every $1 you contribute today, our campaign will get $3. This could be a true game changer – we just have to hit our goal in the next six days. Your support will go a long way toward making sure the people of New Jersey get to meet the real Chris Christie. We need your help to stop Chris Christie.

Please do what you can and click here to contribute now.

Thanks for standing up and rejecting Chris Christie’s failed agenda.

Barbara

Buono, who is receiving state matching funds for her primary campaign, is on the verge of being the first major party candidate in the history of the program not to qualify for the maximum state match. Since declaring her candidacy in December, Buono has raised an average of $29,000 per week. In order to ‘max out’ on state matching funds, she will have to raise $216,000 per week over the last six weeks of the primary campaign.
