NJ Senate Candidates Agree on Golf

 

U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.) and Republican challenger Richard Zimmer, a former congressman, are miles apart on most issues.

But they do agree that neither can play a very good game of golf.

In a Wednesday radio debate on New Jersey 101.5 FM, moderator and station news director Eric Scott tried to lighten things up after the pair argued over taxes, immigration, and public service records.
 
He asked Republican Senate candidate Richard Zimmer, “Do you play golf?”
 
Zimmer responded “I’ve done it twice -- which was at least one time too many.”
 
To keep things even, Scott asked Lautenberg “What’s your handicap these days?”
 
To which Lautenberg quipped dryly “My golf game.”
 
The two are set to meet in their one and only televised debate at 8 p.m. Saturday on NJN-TV. That debate is sponsored by NJN, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Gannett NJ Newspaper group.
