This could not have gone much worse for Bob Stefanowski. He was
positioning to pick up the Independent Party nomination so that his
name could appear both as Republican and Independent on the ballot
when he goes up against Governor Lamont in November. But now, with Rob Hotaling
getting the Independent endorsement, this has gone
all of a sudden from being a two man race to a three man race. Stefanowski had run
into some resistance, especially when indepdendent party chairman
Michael Telesca urged hundreds of party members to field their own candidate, saying
quote we are a third party for a reason.
