Email from Frankly Speaking Internal Polls Are Driving the Desperation — Here’s What That Mean When Campaigns Panic: What Baseless Attacks Reveal The Real Reason for Desperate Accusations New Jersey Friends and Neighbors, If you tuned into this weeks gubernatorial debate, you probably noticed something you didn't see during last weeks WPIX Candidate's forum: wild, baseless accusations flying across the stage toward Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli. Mikie Sherrill’s outlandish claims against Jack weren’t just over the top - they were a flashing red light that something else is happening beneath the surface. She wasn't just lying; her campaign is beginning to grasp at straws! When a candidate abandons real discussion about jobs, taxes, or how to lower costs for New Jersey families, and instead turns to outlandish attacks, it’s rarely a sign of confidence. In politics, these kinds of tactics are almost always a last resort, used when a campaign realizes it’s beginning to lose ground. It’s called desperation, not strategy. We’ve all seen this script before. Just last year, national Democrats began reaching for the most outrageous accusations as their internal polls started to turn south. Now, the same playbook is being dusted off here in New Jersey. The sudden shift to smears and lies isn’t about informing voters - it’s about distracting them from the erosion of support and trust happening in real time. Why do campaigns go negative when the finish line comes into view? Because nothing rattles an incumbent party more than seeing their once-comfortable lead evaporate as voters start to demand real answers and accountability. These tactics are direct evidence that the electorate - and the polls - have shifted. Voters are asking tougher questions, and looking for real solutions, which is why the polls now show the race is a virtual dead heat! But here’s the simple truth: this is not the moment to get complacent. If anything, it represents a greater call to action. When the other side starts throwing everything they have, it means they know voters like you are making a difference. So let’s keep the momentum going. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Remind them what’s at stake. Stay focused on the real issues: jobs, affordability, and the future of our state. Most importantly, don’t let up now when the finish line is in sight. As the track and field metaphor states: Run through the tape! New Jersey is on the cusp of change. Let's ensure it's for the better.
