Poor Lobbyist Dick Zimmer*

I feel badly for Lobbyist Dick Zimmer*, Republican candidate for Senate. He cannot seem to get any campaign traction.

Lobbyist Zimmer*, in his quest to be the next Senator, has been doing what Paul Wellstone did when running against Rudy Boschwitz, going around the state at diners asking “Where’s Frank?”

Only thing is, Lobbyist Zimmer* lacks the campaign charisma, sincerity and progressive agenda that Wellstone ran on. Lobbyist Zimmer*: I have taken the Wellstone training, and you, Lobbyist Zimmer, are no Paul Wellstone.

Although he is trying to create a buzz, he seems to be mostly just annoying people trying to eat their lunch. Maybe Frank should go around NJ diners, and ask if anyone still knows Lobbyist Zimmer*......overheard at the Manalapan Dinner...

"Excuse me, folks, do you know where Frank Lautenberg is?"
"Can someone help this confused man, he's looking for the Senator..." "Maybe he's in DC working for NJ. Maybe you should drive down there..."
"Leave us alone...I would like to eat my chicken salad sandwich in peace."


Anyway, there is a debate set for November 1st, three days before the big day.

*Oh, by the way, I refer to Dick Zimmer with the title “Lobbyist”, because basically that is what he has been for the past twelve plus years or so. I know there are many in my neck of the Republian woods who refer to him as “Congressman”, because once you’re a member of Congress, you sorta retain the title forever. But he has been a Lobbyist much longer than he was a congressman [1992 -1996]; [Lobbyist 1997 – present].

Check your facts. Zimmer was elected to Congress in 1990. And he didn't do any lobbying work until five years after he left Congress, in 2001.

Hey I found this site, and I am glad to find another New Jersey political blogger...

Well I can only say my new Yellowbook has a phone number for Senator Frank Lautenberg's office. Guess what? Its off the hook...(Sorry that is the current vernacular to indicates its Great!) I meant the phone has been disconnected.

Now that is what I consider teh reality, the reality of Frank Lautenberg, disconnected. Disconnected to the state and disconnected to the people of New Jersey.

When good ole Frankie ran in 2003, well he too was searching for money... yes, and he just slid right in for "The Torch"

Yes, so "disconnected", that he'll win by 5-7 points.

Voters will decide how 'connected' they are to Senator Lautenberg.

The People's Republic of New Jersey is going to vote for Lautenburg because this place is crawling with Socialists.

They would elect Che Guevera if they resurrect him.
