McClellan on Mercer GOP 'Welcome Wagon' strategy

Mercer County Democratic Chairman Richard McClellan seems to like having Roy Wesley as the GOP County Chairman.  In an e-mail to PolitickerNJ.com, McClellan commented on the decision to replace Sidna Mitchell on the GOP organization line with attorney William Harvey: "Roy Wesley's recruitment of Passaic political carpetbagger Bill Harvey (registered on 10-18-2008) for the 14th (and also last year's tapping of Cindy Randazzo after one year in town) is part of the Mercer Republicans' new ‘Welcome Wagon' strategy.  Every new Republican who moves into the county gets a petition for office, a blindfold and a cigarette."
