Clean election bust in 37
All the hype and hot air from the BCRO .
Let the finger pointing start. If Joe Torre has to leave the
Yankees someone should step down in District 37 / County
If every GOP effort was like Bob Martin's...
The Senate would be solidly Republican. He is running a real dynamic race and I believe he will be making the difference in the State Senate.
39th???
Why isn't the Cardinale/Ariyan up there?
Gotta Love...
How District 38 isn't included either. Gordon has really taken the sails out of any opposition. I think we know who Steve Rothman's successor will be!
37th is in play!!!
We should have more Republicans campaigning like Clara Nibot. What this woman is doing in District 37th is amazing!. She is a very pasionate, articulate and charismatic candidate whose strong message on Property taxes,Pay to Play and curruption is connecting with voters of all ages.I don't think Sen Weinberg had any idea of what she was facing in Nibot. She is the surprise of the year. Is very refreshing to see a real campaign for the first time in many years in the 37th District and not the normal Cakewalk for Democrats of previous years. Perhaps if the 38th follows Nibot's strategy they would be in this list. Not only Nibot is here but she is also at the top four percentages.
Good...
Weinberg is a 1960's leftist who thinks taxes are the way out of everything and that Ferriero is some sort of right-wing chauvinist.
But of course we all know Lorretta in reality makes Boss Joe look like as pure as the snowman on a January night. We also know that she can't sell her brand of ultra-liberal reactive Democrat politics outside Englewood and Teaneck, look at her flop race for County Exec in the same year centrist Democrat McNerney won. Maybe the people of the 37th are sick of having a latter day gray panther as their Senator.
