 | | Because Bret Schundler is a rising star in the Republican party and represents a new kind of conservative, one who was able to build a coalition of fls, Hispanics and other minorities in a city that is only 6 percent Republican, and was able to do so without compromising any of his conservative principles. |
 | | Schundler, who was re-elected twice as mayor of Jersey City, once in 1993 and again in 1997, garnered 68 percent of the vote in a city that is 25 percent fl, 40 percent Hispanic, and 10 percent Asian, even though Jesse Jackson traveled there to oppose him. |
 | | Schundler was in Israel at the time, meeting with Jewish leaders, which is both ironic and appropriate. |
