CD-6 Update: Cullari Camp Launches Anti-Little Attack Ad on Central Jersey’s Cable Airwaves

Little-supporting Save Jerseyans want to know why we’re reporting this story at all. They think it’s a complete non-issue.

Cullari-backing Save Jerseyans want to know why we’re not taking a position on it. They see this as a credibility issue.

What do I think? What does it matter! I’m sorry if some of your feelings are hurt by my saying so, folks, but this year’s NJ-6 GOP primary is the only competitive GOP House contest in the entire state. Period, end of sentence. And these peripheral “character” issues are what the NJ-6 candidates have elected to debate and/or respond to in the closing moments of their race.

That’s to be expected (to a point); Anna Little boasts higher name recognition than Ernesto Cullari and, whether justified or not, she’s emerged as a polarizing figure in Central Jersey Republican politics over the past couple years. I don’t know any active Republicans in Middlesex and Monmouth counties without a strong opinion of her one way or the other. As a direct result, this contest was always going to be a referendum on Anna from the moment she dropped her kinda-sorta U.S. Senate bid.

Cullari seems to be betting on it rather than resisting the default dynamic. He could’ve opted for a bio spot with his precious resources; instead, Cullari went live yesterday with a contrast commerical on Central Jersey cable television.

Go ahead and watch it, then feel free to give me your honest (but civil, please!) analytical opinion in the comments section below:
