NJ Republicans to get their turn in the spotlight
=================================================
By ANGELA DELLI SANTI | Associated Press Writer
August 30, 2008
TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey Republican leaders want grass-roots members
of their party to return home after the coming week's party convention
in St. Paul, Minn., fired up about John McCain's chances of winning in
the Garden State.
Never mind that the Arizona senator is 10 points behind in the polls
in New Jersey.
Forget that Barack Obama has squeezed $3.6 million more from New
independent style than McCain through June.
No matter that no Republican presidential candidate has carried blue
Jersey since 1988.
"At the end of the day, there are far more independent and undeclared
voters who vote for candidates," said Republican State Committee
Chairman Tom Wilson.
Days after the Democrats wrapped up their presidential nominating
process in Denver, New Jersey Republicans planned to gather in St.
Paul, Minn., as their party prepared to answer with the nomination of
McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin.
streetwear style 250 New Jersey Republicans were planning to be in Minnesota for
the convention, which runs Sept. 1-4. The list streetwear clothing New Jersey's
52 delegates, plus imprinted playing cards members, other party loyalists and honorary
delegates.
"Our biggest and primary focus is kicking off this last eight-week
sprint to get John McCain elected president," said Sen. Bill Baroni,
who chairs McCain's New Jersey campaign.
McCain named Palin, the little-known governor or Alaska, as his
running mate Friday. The choice drew praise among New Jersey
Republicans.
"She is a governor who appeals to the independent middle," said
Baroni. He said New Jersey, which has suffered from corruption, "will
look to Sarah Palin as a fellow traveler with John McCain on the road
to reform."
Former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean praised the experience Palin brings to
the ticket.
"She clearly has the judgment to be one of our nation's most effective
and popular governors," he said. "She is a tough executive, who knows
how to bring together Democrats and Republicans. New Jersey can
identify with this ticket that really will reform Washington."
Like at the Democratic National Convention last week in Denver, no New
Jerseyan has a prominent speaking role at the Republican gathering.
Some of New Jersey's best-known Republicans, like state Sen. Leonard
Lance, are skipping the convention altogether to campaign at home.
(Lance is running for Congress in the 7th Congressional District
against Democrat Linda Stender.) Rep. Frank LoBiondo also planned to
remain behind, said Wilson.
The New Jersey party picked honorary delegates from all 21 counties,
who will attend the festivities "to show the true breadth of support
Sen. McCain enjoys," said Baroni.
Among the honorary delegates are new volunteers, veterans and young
people who have never attended a political convention, Baroni said.
There are also 49 alternate delegates.
Baroni said the convention will enable New Jersey's McCain team to be
in one place for four days to strategize and meet with their
counterparts in other states.
Wilson said the convention will allow Republicans to hone auto insurance more message
they will full color playing cards to the November election.
"For John McCain, it's an opportunity to show that the maverick still
lives on," said Wilson. "This is someone who has spent his entire life
indie fashion a cause greater than life insurance own self-interest."
Several prominent national Republicans are scheduled to address the
New Jersey delegation including former Republican presidential
contender Rudy Giuliani, who had widespread support in New Jersey
before he ceded the race to McCain, and Florida Gov. Charlie Christ.
