I gave old Bergen County politics the 1, 2.

Our Column one looked solid - formidable even next to Boss Joe's Column 2. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the irony of having our team on Column 1, it was particularly sweet since last year, Shama Haider and all of us incumbents on the County Committee in Tenafly were shooed over to Column 4.  Now Boss Joe knows how it feels to get kicked to the curb. 

He thought he owned Column 1.  It was never his.  It was OURS - the Bergen County Democrats -the ones he tried to punish for .. gasp... actually exercising our Special Election votes for Loretta Weinberg.  State Senator Loretta Weinberg, who helped let our voters know last year where to find us on the ballot and defended our candidates this year when Boss Joe tried to get our slate disbanded.

Lets see how this all turns out - I feel like I am reading a page-turner and I only have a few more pages to go.........
