Someone out there is a huge fan of Monmouth County Republican Sen. Jennifer Beck.
His name is Anthony Del Pellegrino, he uses the email handle liberalsrlosers and he thinks Beck represents the future of the Republican party. So much so that Del Pellegrino has launched a petition to back her as a lieutenant governor candidate next year and a stunningly detailed web site, http://jenniferbeckforltgovernor.wordpress.com/.
It includes a bio that ranges from her experience to her education to her love of long-distance running, her voting record and a petition to convince whoever becomes the Republican gubernatorial nominee to pick Beck for lieutenant governor. Both Del Pellegrino and Beck's office say the Senator has nothing to do with the site.
Del Pellegrino, who has worked on Republican campaigns in New York and for GOP Assemblyman Samuel Thompson in New Jersey, said he is not currently working for anyone else, giving him the freedom to speak his mind.
"I feel she really is the future of the party. The party throughout the country has to rebuild and the same holds for New Jersey," said Del Pellegrino, 41.
He believes Beck is articulate and able to reach across party lines, pointing to her ability to win a Senate seat in 2007 while Republicans elsewhere in New Jersey lost ground, but is true to GOP principles.
"I won't use the word conservative in New Jersey, but she does hold true to the Republican ideals that I and many other Republicans value," Del Pellegrino said.
A Manchester resident, Del Pellegrino also writes a conservative blog, http://politics247.wordpress.com/.
Beck's name has previously been tossed into speculation about who will run for lieutenant governor next year. The state does not currently have a lieutenant governor, but will add the position in 2010. The nominees for governor will pick their running mates. Del Pellegrino said he hopes his petition helps convince the Repubilcan candidate, whoever it is, to look for people like Beck. So far he has two signatures in the three days since his Beck site went active.
Beck spokesman Tom Fitzsimmons laughed when he saw the blog. "That's hilarious," he said.
"We have nothing to do with this," he said. "It's flattering, but really she's maintained all along that she's focused on her job."

Snake......I* bet ya' Republican Jennifer Beck can see how inept Jersey liberals have been at handling things like the state budget, economy and meeting the needs of the people. But I guess none of that matters so long as liberals like Corzine hold the mantle of power under the Democrat banner. I mean, as long as people like Carla Katz and other union thugs are happy, all is fine. Kempite
