There were some dour faces when I left the Democratic HQ at the Elks Club, with one candidate whispering to me as I left, "It's not looking good for Democrats tonight."

Republicans were smiling broadly by the time I reached the Polish Falcon Club. Joe Gerace told me, "It looks like a clean sweep."

I'm now at the Board of Elections awaiting first unofficial tally.

Clean sweep? That's funny! In Bergen (as in the former Soviet Union) there was no choice- just Republicans. I wouldn't call it a clean sweep; more like an enema.

Joe Gerace is the city chair. I'm sure he was looking at it from purely a city voting perspective, plus, those were pretty much the only unofficial numbers available at that point.

Joe and Frank look like they are walking out of a "mob meeting" where both look like that they were given the distinguished honor of becoming "made men". Congratulations to the both of you and of course Uncle Buck, even though he would never even be allowed in such a meeting. Good luck and get our city right gentlemen.
