Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

Ortiz is the loser not Bergen GOP.
Bergen GOP is the winner.
Vas elected not re-elected
Joe Vas was elected as Perth Amboy Dem chairman, not re-elected. Chairman Ray Geneski, Vas friend, did not run for re-election, leaving the seat open for Vas.
Vas
wasn't RE-elected as chair. HE was ELECTED as chair which makes him in many ways a bigger winner.
Darcy huh?
Looks like I was right about Whelan Norcross Darcy
