The results from Tuesday's Bergen County Convention offer a glimpse into what is really happening in the Republican primary in New Jersey.
My third place finish tells a more interesting story than some of the other candidates would like to admit. I have not spent the past two years campaigning in Bergen County. I have not spent exorbitant sums of money in past few months to secure the vote there. Nor have I rented office space from the Bergen County Republican Organization's Headquarters (where the Convention was held!).
Yet, I placed in a virtual tie for second place with the Doug "The Renter" Forrester and well above the "free-spending Bob Schroeder" (not to be confused with the "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan").
Could it be that the people of Bergen County are tired of skyrocketing property taxes? Could it be that people, not just in Bergen County, but all over the state, are joining our Property Tax Revolution ?

Well, the Philadelphia Inquirer published a story today about the illustrious George Norcross. You know George Norcross , the one who, along with former State Senator John Lynch, bankrolled and controlled Jim McGreevey's administration . . . and eventually had him thrown out of office?
It seems that Good "Ol George isn't as careful as he would have us all think. Behind his perfectly manicured appearance lies a cockiness unbecoming even in McGreevey's administration. The Inquirer story today reveals that a former Palmyra Councilman wore a wire when meeting with Norcross in his Commerce Bank office and recorded the party boss bragging about "how powerful he was and how much influence he had" with Jim McGreevey.
Jon Corzine might not need Boss Norcross's money, but he does need his support in South Jersey. Stay tuned. . .
