What kinda list is this???
Sharpe James is not on here?????
The BIGGEST L-O-S-E-R of the week: Dick Zimmer
While Jersey Joe was a winner for holding on to Hunterdon County; Dick Zimmer was a BIGGER L-O-S-E-R since this was his home county and the GOP Boss was trying to shove it down the throats of the GOP.
Dick Zimmer also announced in today's Bergen Record that he will NOT be able to raise any real money for his campaign (http://www.northjersey.com/news/nationalpolitics/Zimmer_confident_despit...)
Could Tom Wilson have picked a bigger L-O-S-E-R than Dick Zimmer to run? I don't think so!
At least Anne Estabrook and Andy Unanue were smart enough to quit while they were behind.
It's too late to switch from Zimmer "the L-O-S-E-R" now!
Sharpe James is the Real Deal
Seriously....Sharpe James not on the list??
Ummm...he kinda had a big week.
I agree, Wally Edge does not read the news lately!
This list is out of loosers: Frank for one, Zimmer for second, back to the USSR Chairmen, Democrat machine. The Democrat machine is probably the biggest looser of them all. What is that with Florence Sabrin. How come is she a looser? I would say, she is a victim of the week. Victim of the loosers of the week: back to the USSR Chairmen. However, the democracy took a beating this week just like a week ago and the week ago, and ... Time to wake Wally Edge!
