Word is Kasparian has the votes

Democrats from both factions in Bergen County suggest that developer Michael Kasparian has the votes to win election as County Chairman when the Bergen County Democratic Organization meets tomorrow night to pick a replacement for Joseph Ferriero.  Kasparian, reportedly Ferriero’s choice, faces labor leader Richard “Buzz” Dressel.  Dressel had dropped out of the race, but quickly returned. 

A move by some Democrats to convince Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo to seek the chairmanship was unsuccessful.  Sarlo has declined to run.
