Hate to see the long list!!!!

O'Malley would be a great

Smart guy, good irish name and from northern bergen county. He is a great choice.

I think the dems should concentrate on really making the new freeholder minority leader, Rob Hermansen's life a living hell.

Fletcher lost big time in River Edge to retain her Council seat. Why would they consider her? And isn't BCIA the same agency that brought us Overpriced Park?

Eleven More Months!

Esther Fletcher? LOL

She is a dingbat extraordinaire. Let her run so my party can take control of the Freeholder Board.

Minority Leader ?

Matt McHale of Dumont would be a good choice.

Doesn't matter, Hermansen Conservative, pro-gun slate will win

Doesnt matter who wins, the slate that the true RIGHT part of the Bergen County Republicans pick will win. Arch Conservative and pro-life hero R. Hermansen slate is the winning slate. America needs a true pro-life, American-first team. Anyone against this will be politically destroyed in primary. Support the litmus test when the BCRO picks the next slate. Supporters like Christian-Coalition and former Freeholder Thompson and Lonegan supporter is the way to go.

Vote for America

Mathew "ferriero' Mchale is a bad choice

Submitted by Thirdparty on December 1, 2009 - 9:27am.

I agree with bergenguy but Mathew was Joe's 'yes' man for too many years. They need young people who are not associated with Ferriero.

More Problems for Hermansen

on Election night he was reported to DYFS
NJ for Child abuse. Leaving crying unattended kids at the BCRO until 2 am in the morning.

What a arrogant idiot. Look after your kids first you selfish BASTARD

Hermansen

How did this turn into a Hermansen bash fest? I mean don't get me wrong, i think everyone dislikes Rob H. (dems and Republicans like John Driscoll, Bob Yudin, Sen. Cardinale) especially because he is a dud of a candidate and will be a worse freeholder. I mean talk about being in the right place at the right time. Chris Christie gave him that job.

We all know he will be supporting Jack Zisa for County Executive against McNerney. He will try to get on Yudin and Cardinale's good side because they are 100% against Donovan.

We don't need any extreme right wingers like mahwahmartin and Rob Hermansen anywhere near the Freeholder Board.
