Clinton coming to Bergen to accept Ferriero endorsement
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterDemocratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be in Bergen County on January 23 to pick up the endorsement of Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero and other party leaders and elected officials, according to Ferriero.
Clinton campaign spokesman Brendan Gilfillan said that Clinton was coming to New Jersey on the date, but did not confirm the location.
Bergen has the fourth highest number of Democratic primary voters in the state, and his support is widely viewed as an important cog in Clinton’s bid to win New Jersey in the February 5 primary. Ferriero will host a fundraiser for Clinton following his endorsement announcement.

All you anti-Ferriero posters (and you know who you are)
Here's your chance to write something negative about him today. But don't forget to give a shout out to the website for it's umpteenth article about him.
Clinton
Who is Wayne Bryant and Sharpe James going to endorse?
How about John Lynch?
She should turn it down
Guess Hillary supports pay to play and cronyism and bossism – call her office in NJ and tell them she should not accept any endorsements from dual office holders or pay to play people. Contact the office: newjersey@hillaryclinton.com, 609-695-0600.
Marc Rich can't be far behind
So, will Joe extract an advance pardon?
Why is she doing this???
If i were her I'd go to the center of the state or an urban area to campaign. Joe Ferriero screams establishment-politics of old-old ideas-old plan-old old old!! She needs fresh, bold and new!!!
NJ is not even relevant in this process with the early date.
This apparent endorsement could be a huge mistake.
If Obama wins S Carolina as well as Nevada, you could have a brokered convention in which pledged delegates are only committed on the first ballot.
Obama could have the wind at his back after Saturday.
Why endorse someone on the potential down swing?
Secondly, the most Democratic and reliable of towns are in 37 where Weinberg has endorsed Obama.
Is anyone suggesting the big three (Teaneck, Hackensack and Englewood) won't go for Obama?
If Obama works just those three Bergen towns and keeps it close in the rest of the county, Hillary loses.
Hillary won Nevada --Obama up on S. Carolina
His endorsement may start to mean something if Obama's troops pull out all the stops and make NJ a horserace. Otherwise it'll be Hillary by 8-10 points and then, she'll go on to knock Obama off in most of the states picking up the lionshare of delegates. it was funt o watch for awhile but I've always said Hillary was going to win this thing. Women are delivering her big.
