Don't believe Maggs' spin

James Maggs says he resigned his post as Alternate Delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention from New Jersey’s 12th district because he couldn’t take off the first week of September. The problem is Maggs isn’t telling the truth. Maggs – despite his spin – resigned because of policy differences with the presumed GOP presidential nominee, John McCain.

McCain delegate quits

An alternate New Jersey delegate for John McCain resigned last month, citing issues that gave him “great pause.”

James Maggs, a Brielle lawyer who was a McCain alternate in the 12th district, sent an email to McCain fundraiser Robin Visconi on May 29, writing that “effective immediately I am resigning whatever position I hold in New Jersey in support of Senator McCain…. I have worked very hard to assist Senator McCain in his Presidential bid, however, after reflecting over a number of issues that have arisen during the past 12-15 months which have given me great pause, I no longer desire to be part of this effort.”

Reached for comment last week, Maggs said that it was “categorically untrue” that he had dropped his support for McCain. After PolitickerNJ.com obtained the email yesterday and contacted Maggs again, he said that he had resigned his position as a delegate because of personal issues – not policy differences with McCain.
