That's the good news. Here's the bad.
Cammarano's efforts to keep his machine's dirty tricks at arms length are coming across as shrill and disingenuous.
Cammarano knows that the 527s behind the smear-mail are part of the same machinations now propping up his campaign. These practices are standard operating procedure among more ethically-challenged campaign apparatchik.
If Cammarano wanted to put integrity behind his rhetoric of reform, he'd start by being transparent and forthright about his ties to entrenched special interests in local real estate development, old-boy politics, and insurance brokerage. These lobbies have coddled the candidate, placing his run for mayor at odds with the actions needed to advance real change for Hoboken.
Meanwhile Keith Carbone, the machine operative allegedly behind the attack mailers from the Astroturf group "Building America Committee," has dropped from the radar.
Friend me Keith, please.
Who's running push polling calls? Phone pollster refused to ID campaign that paid for her biased mayoral poll. She then hung up after I pressed.
ReplyDeleteSince it's a machine tactic I suspect this came from Cammarano's camp or via one of his bosses.
Zimmer camp states that Cammarano's party boss endorsements have promises attached to them. Likely scenario. http://twurl.nl/dn2tod
ReplyDeleteAll politico's have strings attached, that's why it is called politics. just ask the moms in green tee shirts
ReplyDeleteThe trick is making sure we all know who they're beholden to and for what. This would indicate that Cammarano has made some promises that aren't in the public's interest: www.donnaforhoboken.com
ReplyDeleteIf true, those are some bad strings
