Dear Bill;
Thanks for the contribution to the Lonegan vs Christie debate.
It’s a little sad to hear a self-described conservative use a Boston Globe hit-piece as a source to describe fellow conservatives – to say the least the Globe’s story doesn’t enjoy the added benefit of being true and therefore neither does your post. Really Bill, I wouldn’t use a Globe/NY Times article as a source to describe anyone with your résumé – why do use it to describe FDF and our contractor Base Connect?
The real point here is that Lonegan is the only true conservative in this race and while Christie has been very successful in using his prosecutor job to run for office, he’ll have a hard time advancing the conservative cause while he fends off attacks from his various scandals.
The problem for Republicans is that they have a choice between an actual conservative, (who would actually remain a conservative in office!) and a guy who’s a dangerous experiment that NJ GOP cannot afford. Christie has been and will be hit hard and that’s all the fall will be about if the nomination is wasted on a guy with Christie’s scandal ridden background.
