He was trying to influence the selection process at the outset.  He thinks HE can call the election for his own successor, before anyone barely has a chance to notice how he forced his will on the BCDO yet again.  

I have seen how this guy runs elections, and I can tell you, it feels like being in a country where Jimmy Carter has to visit to keep an eye on the ballot boxes.  If Joe conducted ethical elections, the Real Bergen Dems would never have been formed in the first place.  It was because we did not trust Boss Joe and his friends to carry out an honest election.  THAT is why we asked Loretta Weinberg and her team to run OFF the BCDO line.  Joe's elections.  So if you think I'm going to jump for joy, because Joe called another election in 12 days,  I'm gonna have to disabuse you of that notion.

When Joe calls a BCDO election - especially a "special" election, the hairs on the back of my neck stand STRAIGHT up.

And I do have to call attention to the reporters who continue to say that ANY dem that won in Bergen County did it with Joe's help.  Tenafly turned bright blue WITHOUT any help from the BCDO.  In fact we won DESPITE Joe's best efforts to throw us ALL off the BCDO line.  Joe has that rooster taking credit for the sunrise problem and the reporters are feeding right into it.

So, in Bizarro world, Joe Ferriero might be a swell guy who is always honest and ethical and allows for folks to speak their minds at meetings, and might be for ethics reform and might believe that free speech is what I'm doing here and that Pay-To-Play is legalized bribery and has been outlawed, but we ain't in Bizarro world.  We're in New Jersey.  New Jersey, folks.  You know, it's like Blagovovich Land, except with a Jersey accent.
