Plenty of time to avoid a primary... as long as you agree with me

by: Jason Springer

Thu Dec 24, 2009 at 10:15:00 AM EST



Ocean County GOP Chair George Gilmore must be getting madder with each passing moment. I wrote about the pending civil war that is ready to break out over who will challenge John Adler the other day. Burlington County GOP Chair Bill Layton just can't help himself and when it's not Jon Runyan talking directly, Layton is making sure no story goes without a quote:
Layton, for his part, acknowledged that he supports Jon Runyan, but said there remains plenty of time to avoid a primary.

"To me it remains the same. Jon Runyan is the best candidate.  So at some point we need to convince others of that, and that process is still taking place," he said.  "If Jon Runyan was an Ocean County guy, I'd be with Jon Runyan.  Jon Runyan is the best candidate for the race.  It's about winning back the seat, not whether the guy is from Burlington, Ocean or Camden."

Gilmore said that he did not read any of Runyan's interviews and would wait until he has to comment.

Oh to be a fly on the wall when Gilmore finally reads the interviews. This has the real potential to be a fun one to watch. It sounds like Layton is telling Gilmore that there is plenty of time to avoid a primary as long as he agrees Runyan is the man. I don't think George Gilmore is used to that type of ultimatum.

If i were a betting man i'd take Gilmore over Layton 8 times out of 10.   And since last year was such a hot mess I can only hope to have enough popcorn for next year's showdown.

You do good Comment.

Just sayin'.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

"Oh to be a fly on the wall when Gilmore finally reads the interviews."

And realizes how clueless Runyan is about the issues that matter to voters in the County and district.

Does anyone really believe the seniors in their retirement villages, who are most likely to vote in primaries, will trust this buffoon to protect their social security and medicare benefits?
