October 13, 2008

I'm going to keep hammering and hammering and hammering, and if I can't get the information maybe the U.S. Attorney can. -- Assemblyman Rick Merkt (R-Mendham), on the state budget. Both Merkt and Christie are potential candidates for the 2009 Republican nomination for Governor.

if Bergen thought Ortiz was
if Bergen thought Ortiz was bad - wait till Yudin ruins that county. Yudin is actually probably the loser in this situation by losing Mowers as his ED.
loser ?
careful who might be a loser
Mowers is a loser and a winner this week.
Wally Edge's logic is beyond my comprehension. Why Matt Mowers is "talented 19-year-old GOP operative"? Can anybody explain it to me?
Again, the loser of the week
Again, the loser of the week is the New Jersey taxpayer.
Mowers is a loser and a winner this week
The reason is because Matt Mowers simply is a talented 19-year old GOP operative.
No one should blame the kid or be too critical. He's just out of high school and trying to help.
In the end, his job was to execute whatever plan his leadership gives him. He's a good kid, hard worker and whether he's in or out, winner or loser, I hope he keeps working in politics.
