Halfacre Poll a joke

A poll has been released by the Halfacre Campaign showing that Halfacre beats Holt in a theoretical matchip 43-41, while Sipprelle loses 20-55. But look closely at the poll question:


In a head to head ballot test between Holt and “a Republican who, as Mayor, cut spending and lowered property taxes three years in a row,” Holt trailed by five percentage points, 46%-41%. Against “a Republican who made millions on Wall Street, and who contributed some of his money to Democrats like Chuck Schumer and five House Democrats as recently as June of 2009,” Holt has a huge lead: 55%-20%.

Not even close to objective or scientific. If this is the best Halfacre has, its truly sad. It is bad enough he has spent the last two months directly attacking Sipprelle on his contributions to democrats and his career on Wall Street, he is now putting out goofy poll numbers. My question is why such a great Republican felt it necessary to commit several posts on his campaign website about a candidate that had JUST JOINED THE RACE. Barely a week after Sipprelle announced, Halfacre committed most of the space on his site to Sipprelle rather than himself.

Halfacre, even with those conservative credentials as mayor, does not inspire much confidence as far as his integrity, character, and skills as a campaigner. If anything he has focused the attention of Republicans on his opponent, which was a bad choice since many are finding Sipprelle is a solid Republican and a very solid candidate.

After today I am going to look more into other New Jersey races. I think I have said enough about this one.
