Murray Sabrin should rank higher,
I'm going to make a case for Sabrin to rank below Ron Paul. I know some might not like the competitive nature this type of list brings, but here are some facts that need to be considered...
1.) A U.S. Senator (not a state level senator) has the option of the Filibuster, something which the House of Represenatatives doesn't have.
2.) Murray being elected to the U.S. Senate, would make him the highest ranking elected republican official in the state of New Jersey, and would allow him to set the Republican Party Platform from the top down. This would bring DRAMATIC changes all across New Jersey.
3.) Senate races admittedly are a bit more expensive to run.
4.) Having a Senator AND a Congressman introducing "Joint" legislation (imagine this would become a weekly thing, HAHAHA) garners alot of media attention. This is a rarity, and Murray is the ONLY candidate who is running for U.S. Senate. Everyone else is running for the house of representatives.
5.) Murray has the support not only of Ron Paul, (a personal friend of 25 years) but also of the Republican Liberty Caucus, as well as all the Ron Paul Supporters in New Jersey, not to mention a whole slew of other supporters who knew of him from the last two times he ran for office. Murray has a large following here in New Jersey..
6.) His competition is one Joe Penacchio, who openly admitted during an event that he was "A JFK Democrat who was forced to become a Republican only because the Democrats lost their way" (Family Pro Leader Conference in Morris Plains, NJ) and Ann Evans Estabrook, widow to a developer, very nice woman, but no prior political experiance, has invested 1.5 million of her own money, and who has a history of making campaign donations to Democrats for the past several years.
7.) On the Democrat side of the ticket, Frank Lautenburg has an 8 million dollar war chest, but will only spend about 5 million to maintain his seat. He is 84 years old, and as Murray has said "His ideas are ANCIENT." Other democrats can't stand him, there is a rift between him and the governor, and many democrats are secretly conspiring to support a republican candidate because they know they cannot win a primary against Frank. Its easier to use the republican to bump out the incumbent, wait 6 years, and then run in a Democrat primary.
8.) The average New Jersey citizen is very disappointed with Democrats recently, both Lautenburg and Corzine. Because of this, there are looking for a breath of fresh air. With Penacchio admitting he is a Democrat running as a Republican, and Estabrook just not being politically savvy, many of our citizens are taking a keen liking to Murray.
My advice, check out the website,
http://www.murraysabrin.com, visit the youtube channel, watch the videos (especially the Woodbridge Republican Club, most recent, and shows Murray knows how to talk "to" other republicans, not "at" them.) call the campaign, email them, get involved.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, a U.S. Senate term lasts for 6 years!!!! That 6 years that Murray can talk them to death on the Senate floor (and man, can he talk when he wants too.,....) about Austrian Economics and Following the rule of law, which is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
