Must read

"What took me twenty years to figure out is that the political process in New Jersey centers around one thing: Money. That's it. And it seems to suit the electorate just fine as frustrating as it may seem to some."
~ Dan Gallic, former Monmouth Republican Organization Executive Director and the blogger known as "Ronald Reagan"

Dan Gallic's post, "Brief Apologetitcs in support of a New Jersey Hatch Act" gets right to the heart of the matter of what is not working in New Jersey politics. While Dan has a rosier view of post 2005 Monmouth County than I do, his premise is right on the mark.

Dan is an interesting guy. I once worked with him on a campaign. He is a brilliant political strategist with an ego the size of the planet Jupitor.
It is a good column.
The funny part is his bosses worked the money game with the best of them.
Now that I think back he never got involved in raising the money he just didn't ask where it came from.

That's probably why it took him 21 years to figure out that its all about the money.
