Chris Fifis lost AGAIN !
Now go back to serving bad food to the Camden County Democrats at Ponzios!
The state should investigate Ponzios. Lots of workers don't speak English and look like illegals.
GREAT NEWS!
District 8: Republicans Dawn Addiego and Scott Rudder defeated Democrats Tracy Riley and Chris Fifis.

Burlington County Democrats should run Fifis in two years with Sean Kennedy as his running mate. Two LOSERS with a capital L.
Judas goat lost

Scarlet...

RILEY AND FIFIS......LOST
MARTIN ONE, WHERE ARE YOU??
Dist. 12
I wonder if Panter's bill to end fishing and hunting had anything to do with his loss? Why would anyone who lives near coastal towns file a bill angering a large group
Marty
Do you guys actually expect Marty to come here with his tail between his legs and say we were right? He will no doubt come up with some ridiculous commentary as to the "trending" district and how "we were robbed." PS - how did your stem cell vote go? Still think the majority of folks in NJ support it?
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY
oc, YOU ARE correct!
Marty will no doubt come up with:
It was all Allens fault
The machines did not count right
It was all Haines Fault
Voters got wrong ballots
It was Dawn Lacys Fault
Voters were bullied
It was all Boss Paulesns fault
BOTTOM LINE, VOTERS REJECTED THE DEMS MESSAGE ONCE AGAIN AND REJECTED MARTY!
More Cowbell Please !!
RILEY BLEW IT!
We had heard that the VERY moment Riley started putting out her OWN RILEY SIGNS with her name alone on them, that was her undoing, because people felt she was only out for herself and did not care about her team.
Oh well, Riley will just have to face her constitutents in Mt Laurel and FINISH OUT HER TERM SHE PROMISED LAST YEAR TO UPHOLD since she cares about those residents.
AND she couldnt even win Mt Laurel!~
More Cowbell Please !!
