Interesting quote
Today's Jersey Journal quotes one of newly elected Ward E Councilman Steve Fulop's campaign workers Thomas Bertoli:
"You don't bring Dr. Phil to a knifefight," Bertoli said. "Let's just say it's in the Hudson County tradition."
That makes you feel all work and fuzzy inside, doesn't it? I wonder what other "Hudson County traditions" will be embraced downtown...
Update: Looks like that quote caught the eye of the folks at Politics NJ as well.

pretty vile, huh?
fulop's opponent was definitely not engaged in a knife-fight. in fact, he barely fought at all, which was part of the problem.
that *journal* article left out the most telling detail of fulop's campaign-day circular. in addition to crossing out the name of his opponent (which, given the campaign he ran, was entirely expected), he also crossed out omar barbour's name, and highlighted the names of the organizational candidates he was supposed to be running in opposition to. evidently councilman fulop has no problem with using the power of the organization to black out independents. as i said on the site, he doesn't want to fight the machine. he wants to *join* the machine.
