Lyndhurst, NJ GOP switching to Democrats

[Verily]

I'm guessing that they got a pay cut and now have a new opinion about the graduated income tax?

Key word in that article was Ferriero

No idea who he is.

He's the reason that a marginal county on the national level is overwhelmingly Democratic on the local level. Mr. Moderate basically went through the facts. Ferriero is currently systematically destroying the Italian-American GOP machines in the southwest of Bergen County. Lyndhurst was one of the major hold-outs.

Personally, I hate Ferriero with a passion, and his one-party county really isn't any different from the two-party county, but it isn't as if the machine Republicans in the southwest were doing any good for anyone either.

It still perplexes me how such crappy towns such as Lyndhurst or Rutherford are nearly as GOP as they are. 

Rutherford is not crappy, we are simply a Upper Bergen County town in Southern Bergen County (ask others I am not just defending my own town).  We have been uber-Republican for about 2 days so I fail to see your point there

Upper Bergen County? Have you ever been to places like Hillsdale and Franklin Lakes? Rutherford has nothing in common with them.

Comparitively Rutherford is much better than any of the towns around it by far.  It is comparable to towns like Oradell and River Edge not Lyndhurst and East Rutherford.  As one of councilmen so eloquently put it, "We don't Rutherford turning into East Rutherford"

LOL. Municipality nationalism. Look at the demographic maps thread I've recently made; Rutherford is nearly identical to East Rutherford, and the two are the most diverse in the Southwest. In terms of per capita income, Rutherford is within $2,000 of every town in the area.

Thinking about it is kind of find of funny that Lyndhurst goes from being super majority Republican to super majority Democrat a few days before there uber-Democrat neighbors vote in a total of 5 Republicans and 0 Democrats, and all the Rutherford ones by 70%

Uber-Democrat? LOL. You continue to astound.
