A Line of Their Own

by: carolh

Mon May 07, 2007 at 01:20:12 PM EDT



Well, I just heard the latest. The county and local Real Bergen Democrats will all be together in column 1 on the ballot.  The BCDO candidates will appear in Column 2, headed by Senator Loretta Weinberg, and Assemblywoman Valerie Vanieri Huttle, and Assemblyman Gordon Johnson. 

This means our Real Bergen Democrats candidates including Tenafly's very own Shama Haider and candidates Mike Lattif, Pat Rouse, and Joe McDermott are all in Column 1.  Also in Column 1: Timothy Driscoll and the Real Bergen Dems in Bergenfield, as well as Councilwoman Charlotte Bennett Schoen of Englewood. 

In a stunning turn of sweet ballot irony, the Real Bergen Democrats will have the Column 1 advantage over the powerful Party Boss-endorsed candidates who are now in Column 2.  Only in NJ............

"the powerful Party Boss-endorsed candidates who are now in Column 2" ..... such as Weinberg, Huttle and Johnson.

lol!



It is strange (0.00 / 0)
I'll admit, but without the help of our State Senator and Assemblymembers, we wouldn't even have an opposition slate at all. They fought very hard with time and money to keep the Real Bergen Dems line intact. 

One Vote. Yours. It really does matter.

Real Democrats. Real Stupid. (0.00 / 1)
So what is the point of this now?

Weinberg runs with the BCDO and leaves these people to fend for themselves?

This whole episode is depressing.

Does anyone have the ability or the guts to challenge Ferriero?

He's vulnerable and nobody knows it while the GOP disintergrates into the abyss...


The point is this - (0.00 / 0)
The folks I just listed are running in the Primary.  We need you to vote in the Primary.  Senator Weinberg doesn't decide who wins in the Primary.  And neither does Joe Ferriero  - this time.  And neither do I.  YOU DO. 

I don't find democracy depressing.  The reform opposition Dems in Bergen County are running on Line 1.  They will be easy to find on June 5th. UNLESS you don't bother to vote because you are wallowing in despair. 

So..... Buckup little camper!  We need to get out the vote on June 5th in all the towns I listed.  I have to check on Leonia - but it wouldn't hurt for the Dems there to participate in the Primary too. 

Don't wallow.  Vote!

One Vote. Yours. It really does matter.

What about Leonia (0.00 / 0)
What about Leonia?  I heard that they were running with the RBGs at one point.
