Sabrin pulls off upset win in Gloucester

Murray Sabrin surprised the media and GOP establishment by winning the GOP convention in Gloucester County yesterday. Sabrin is facing off against State Senator Joe Pennacchio for the Republican nomination for U.S Senate. The winner is expected to face Senator Frank Lautenberg in the November election.

What surprises me most is not that Sabrin won, but that the convention was open to all registered Republican voters in the county. Congratulations to Gloucester GOP Chairwoman Loren Oglesby for having such an open, democratic process.

Unless the announced rules change, Monmouth GOP delegates will not have a say in the races for U.S. Senator or U.S. Congress at their convention on March 26.

If it was open to all registrered Republican voters, doesn't that mean it was the Gloucester County Republican Primary?

Are the US Congress races in Monmouth even contested?!

I heard there were two candidates before the screening committee for Pallone's seat.
