Sabrin finishes third. Back to business as usual in NJ

Murray Sabrin, a former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate turned “Ron Paul Republican” candidate for U.S. Senate in New Jersey, finished a distant third tonight in the GOP primary.

Sabrin, despite raising well over a half-million dollars to fund his campaign, is polling at only 14%… far behind former Congressman Dick Zimmer (46%) and State Senator Joe Pennacchio (40%).

Impressively, Sabrin managed to raised in excess of $30,000 during the final day of the campaign. Since there will be no general election campaign, it’s not clear if that money is going to be directed to expenses that were already incurred or if it will be returned or used for another purpose.
