Greenwald?
That guy is a disaster. Ask Joe Cryan how powerful Greenwald is.
McPherson???
PLEASE!!!! Loretta Weinberg better be on this list. Without her this list is worthless.
Joe and Lou
Both of these guys belong on the list.
This is another silly silly poll.
has to be Empty-Suit-Greenwald
yes, he's an "empty suit"....but he is still the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee....that has to get you in the top-50, even if it is J-Robs and Norcross pulling his strings.
McPherson?
Who are you guys kidding? I'm not exactly in the I heart Lou fanclub, but if it got to the point where she outranks Greenwald, I'm moving.
Ed Rochford?
Enough already.
McPherson?
Isn't she facing some decent competition for mayor of Rutherford because of the high property tax increases? Maybe they'll be one less dual office holder grandfathered in come January.
McPherson?
Who writes this stuff? McPherson has been a disaster as mayor and a puppet as freeholder. She'll be retired come November. No way she gets re-elected.
Empty Suit Greenwald
owes his entire success to Speaker Norcross.
Kyrillos has my vote.
Even so - this poll is stupid and the "top-50" will be both obvious and way off the mark.
I miss this old site...
republicans don't understand democratic politics
Mrs. McPherson is far from being retired. She will march into her reelection this year in Rutherford and next year as a freeholder. She'll be in Congress or Drumthwacket by the end of the next decade. Not only is she not a puppet, but is quite often the one people look to to do the right thing both ethically and legally. She is smarter than 95% of elected officials in NJ...you watch, retirement is the last thing thats going to happen to her.
Kyrillos
Which Joe Kyrillos are you supporting? The Republican one, the Democratic one or the wishy washy can't make up his mind one?
