PolitickerNJ.com welcomes Kevin Patrick Collins, the son of GOP consultant Kevin Collins, who was born on June 12, and Gov. Jon Corzine's new press secretary, Sean Darcy. We share in New Jersey's loss of two statesmen who passed away this week: Ned J. Parsekian, who served in the State Senate from 1966 to 1968, and Ambassador Anne Martindell, who was a State Senator from 1974 to 1977.

Ortiz is the loser not Bergen GOP.
Bergen GOP is the winner.
Vas elected not re-elected
Joe Vas was elected as Perth Amboy Dem chairman, not re-elected. Chairman Ray Geneski, Vas friend, did not run for re-election, leaving the seat open for Vas.
Vas
wasn't RE-elected as chair. HE was ELECTED as chair which makes him in many ways a bigger winner.
Darcy huh?
Looks like I was right about Whelan Norcross Darcy
