Watch as Hurely
hijacks this poll a la Sabrin
i voted for Patti McGuire
seriously, some of these people don't belong on the list. What's the definition of "powerful" in NJ anyway?
Wally,
What happened to the "Someone Else"? Inconsistencies tend to indicate bias.
"We will have peace when they love their children more than they hate us" ~ Golda Meir
Dana Redd.
Why wasn't Dana on the list?
Where is Maggie Moran????
Jeanine Larue
Susan Bass Levin
Jeanne Fox
Nina Wells
Tara Dowdell
Ruthi Zinn Byrne
Who inthe heck is James O'Neal?
Are you just making up people? Herb Stern-isn't he the guy who is under investigation for the US Attorney's special contracts, hegot one he shouldhan't have and Pallone is all over him or something? Troy Singleton sounds like a NBA or NFL player, Tom Wilson is a one-note Johnnie (Please baby give me those e-mails), is Harry Hurley still alive, I think Micheline Davis, Adam Z and Patti McGuire should remain in contention-the rest are a JOKE or a QUESTION MARK.
Victor Herlinsky
Victor should at least be the 99th Most Powerful Person in NJ Politics!!
Troy?
Are you on crack............He can't barely speak!
Hurley is a hack
Who switches sides when the wind changes direction. He is a self serving narcissist who is pushing this to his radio audience every ten seconds. As far as politically influential, you may want to look at the people he supports. Did a great job pushing Sonny for state senator. If a hack like Whelan can beat sonny, even with HH's free advertising, then his impact is essentially zero. Harry does nothing if it does not benefit harry.
Question
Were these names selected from the Marquis's "Who's Who Cares" list?
"We will have peace when they love their children more than they hate us" ~ Golda Meir
It is McGuire
But like I said Hurley will hijack the poll like Murray Sabrin did. And I agree with maddog, Hurley backs losing candidates when it matters and backs candidates that are all but assured to win with or without him. Hack Hurley is barely a d lister on the NJ political scene
This is a joke
This supposed poll won't let me vote no matter what computer I use. WHAT A JOKE!!!
