 Congrats to Blue Jersey founder Juan Melli on being named PoliticsNJ's Politician of the year. It is very much deserved. Check this line out...It's not easy to balance an aggressive activist bent with the ability to work with the established politicos, but Melli and the folks at Blue Jersey, the progressive blog he started, have been able to do it. The online presence is often caustic and pointed, and willing to take on powerful Democrats like Sen. Bob Menendez after his fall vote to authorize wiretaps without warrants, or to ridicule Governor Jon Corzine for flip-flopping on property tax reform. But Melli is able to tap fellow Blue Jersey bloggers and his own real world network to get podcast interviews with these same politicos -- including Menendez -- and get them to give blunt assessments on the record. The reason is that Melli is always fair and unwilling to go after someone unless it is deserved, and politics watchers, from the most radical activist to the most entrenched politicos, know it. Great job Juan and thanks for all your hard work! And for the Jill Hazelbaker's of the world who believe you can't believe whats on blogs, a blogger just won politician of the year. How bout dem apples?
