"American commitment in Iraq must not be one-way and open-ended," said Pennacchio, R-Morris. "Unless Iraq and neighboring ally Arab states step up to defend and protect Iraq and regional liberties, America should pull our soldiers out of harm's way."

While that is a good general election strategy, it's not a good primary one.

Considering that the majority of the NJ GOP is opposed to continued involvement in the Iraq war, I'd say it's a pretty smart play indeed.  Especially for a conservative like Pennachio. (Estabrook simply cannot outflank this guy on the right.)

Nah. If he thinks he can be the anti-war candidate and win his primary, he won't. Estabrook can buy the primary anyway.

I doubt he's going to angle himself as "the anti-war candidate," just as a candidate who is not supportive of continuing the Iraq War.

And I hope you're right about Estabrook—I'd far rather she face off against Lautenberg than Pennacchio.
