Rabbi Shmuley Boteach -- republican candidate for congressional 9th district in NJ

Never have I seen such a poorly organized campaign.

Sheldon Adelson gave him two installments of $500,000. No TV spots. Poorly written and produced youtube vids, a few of which center on Boteach taking a suit on a hanger around Bergen and Passaic Counties, talking to it a la Clint Eastwood.

How is he spending his mil? He had a robocall telephone townhall last night which was more of a radio talkshow with callers rather than a campaign event.

Don't get me wrong. He's pleasant enough. But he doesn't talk in specifics, only generalities. Whatever Bill Pascrell has done, he's against it: Pascrell's support for a park to be named after a community leader (who happened to have been an antisemite) or Pascrell defending the right of a Palestinian community leader to stay in this country. And Boteach is against term limits; that's why you shouldn't vote to re-elect Pascrell. Pascrell's a local politician like that's a bad thing: he goes to Washington and Paterson is still dirty and crime-ridden.

I just don't see an organized campaign that offers much other than Boteach is not Pascrell, he isn't a democrat, and he'll be bipartison (we'll see how long THAT would last . . . . ).
