Well ladies and gentleman, we lost.  And we lost overwhelmingly.  But it wasn’t a surprise.  What hurts the most to me are the losses we suffered at the county and municipal level in New Jersey.  We lost Congressional District Three, in my honest opinion, because of interparty fighting, not because of “Obamamania.”  George Gilmore and Ocean County couldn’t get over the fact their candidate lost in the primary to Medford Mayor Chris Myers (a Burlington County man).

The 12% margin of victory for Myers in Ocean County is a joke.

How do we lose two freeholder seats and the county clerk’s office in Burlington County?

_______

How do we get swept out in Cumberland County?

_______

We have a lot of questions.  We need to do some soul searching in the next few weeks.  But know this: our path to victory in 2009 and beyond begins today.  We cannot be looking over our shoulders wondering what we could have done different.  It is time to be proactive.  It is time to bring forth a new generation of young Republican leaders.  We need to rally around Congressman Cantor from Virgina and Congressman Ryan from Wisoconsin.  We need to rally around Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and other young Republican leaders like him nationwide.  And we need to dump Tom Wilson, our illustrious State GOP Chairman.  Our party is in shambles here in New Jersey.  Just look at the selection process for our U.S. Senate candidate to understand my point.

My friends, join me: stand with me as I fight to bring about Republican ideas and values.  Stand with me as I work to rebuild our party from the ground up, so we can retake Trenton and Washington.  It is time for a taxpayer revolution my friends, and it begins today!

This past month marked the point of the year where the Republican and Democrat parties decide who to elect for their county chairmen.  County chairmen are elected by the county committee, which is comprised of two delegates from every election district in the state.  In every county party laws state that the two delegates must be comprised of one male and one female elected from the district they represent.  Most of these chairmen are largely overlooked for their importance; however, they wield much power.  The ability to deliver the line in the primary as well as match fundraising and institutional support for a candidate is vital for victory come November.  Below is the list of the Republican county chairs.  I wish our new chairman much success in the two years ahead.
