Bednarz goes fulltime for Obama
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterThe Obama ’08 campaign has hired grassroots New Jersey volunteer Damian Bednarz to work in the organization’s New Hampshire office.
Bednarz, who has served since last year as the chairman of the NJ for Obama campaign, will graduate from Seton Hall’s Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations on Friday. He plans to begin his new paid job with the Obama campaign next Tuesday.
His departure means re-structuring for the leadership of NJ for Obama. Attorney Keith Hovey of Montgomery will serve as the organization’s new volunteer chairman.

Quote of the Day
"The confidential agreement with Riccio completed in September and recently exposed by The Star-Ledger of Newark should spur U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie to assign top staffers to uncover the whole story before Christie leaves office. Corzine's settlement is another attempt to sweep the problems from his overlapping personal and public life under the rug. Christie should pull the rug out, and soon." -- An Asbury Park Press editorial run in this morning's newspaper, apparently unaware that Christie's last day was Monday.

Now, NH will be for Obama.
I've seen first hand how Mr. Bednarz handled the Draft Obama campaign in New Jersey-Rest assured Obama followers that Bednarz will definitely deliver NH votes in January.
We will miss you
I for one will sorely miss Damian because I know he is a strong leader but on the other hand who could say no to sending him out to New Hampshire. Obama needs help and Damian is the right guy to send into the fray in New Hampshire. I have also met, Attorney Keith Hovey and I know that his leadership as the chairman for NJ for Obama will be a great addition in the absence of Damian. Good luck to you Damian we will miss you. Go get some votes.
NH will be for Obama.
Good, stay there that state deserves you - Who cares!
Go Get'em Damian
Go get us that win in New Hampshire. We will miss you, Damian, but know that the Obama campaign could not have hired a better person for the job. Keep up the good work and make sure you keep the intelligence coming from the Obama campaign to us here in the Garden State. Ronald C. Rice www.ron-rice.com
Hovey Right for Job
I was glad to see that Keith Hovey will be serving as Chairman for NJ for Obama. Building out a grass roots effort takes persistence, skill and enthusiasm. That pretty much sums up Keith. Congratulations! www.rpdems.com
