"Prominent Republicans Aren’t Exactly Happy About Their U.S. Senate Choices"

"You can’t get anyone on the record about it, but some prominent Republicans aren’t exactly happy about their U.S. Senate choices."

“'Ambivalent is probably the most charitable word you can use for what people say about the choices,' said one Republican elected official who wished to remain anonymous."

"Multiple Republican sources also say that some county chairs are continuing the search and calling around to find new candidates."

On Estabrook and Pennacchio: "...Some in the party feel that neither has the combination of deep pockets, name recognition and charisma that it will take to beat U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg in 2008."
