MERKT’S ‘RUNNING’ CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR HITS NEW MILESTONE

ONLY 66 MUNICIPALITIES LEFT TO FULFILL GOAL

Lionel Leach’s comment is really bugging supporters of Newark Mayor Cory Booker.  In an interview with PolitickerNJ.com on Friday, Leach, who identified himself as a spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in Newark, said that one of the reasons Clinton has done so well gathering endorsements of Democratic officials is because they don’t like Booker.  "I think a lot more elected officials would have supported Barack Obama were it not for (Cory) Booker’s support of Obama,” Leach told PolitickerNJ.com’s Max Pizzaro.  Leach, a well-known Democratic operative, worked for U.S. Senator Robert Menendez until just recently.

Can’t get enough Max Pizarro and David Rebovich?  Then you can watch them on television tonight and over the weekend. 

Pizarro will be featured on Reporters Roundtable on NJN, hosted by Zachary Fink.  He’ll appear along with reporters Tom Hester of The Associated Press, Adrienne Lu from The Bergen Record and Michael Symons from Gannett New Jersey.  The show will air on Friday at 6:30pm and Sunday at 10am.
