In Reply to: It's Now Councilman Fulop Thank You Very Much posted by Jefe on June 16, 2005 at 11:42:44:
: : "Some political observers called it a message to the Democratic Party, both local and county. Councilman-elect Steve Fulop ran not just against Maldonado, but attacked the Hudson County Democratic Organization and its de facto leader, U.S. Rep. Robert Menendez, D-Hoboken. This resonated with the Puerto Rican voters, who were supposed to be Maldonado's strength. Instead, they believe that the Dems, and Maldonado, have done very little for them because the incumbent was more interested in putting family on the payroll, according to several Hispanic politicians. What the Dems found out is that Puerto Ricans are not only Hispanics but American citizens and some were even reluctant to go against the former Marine, Fulop." : I don't have any hard data to back this up but exit polls suggest that the snazzy web site designed by the good folks at Keymaster Productions (namely moi) won it for him. : Congrats Steve - I hope this is just the first stop on a long and exciting political journey. Like I have been already, I intend to be there for every step of the way.
