Victory! Justice has been served!!!!! Screw everyone who called Kevin O'Toole and his team Rino's. Your all supporting a now dead racist chairman who ran a horrible show in Bergen County. New life for Bergen County indeed!

GUESS GUY WASN'T INTERESTED IN GETTING BACK INTO THE SENATE OR ASSEMBLY OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE LEFT LONG AGO.

Lets go for the trifecta and have Lance & Wilson resign with their accomplishments in hand.

This guy has to be the biggest fool ever to serve as party chairman. The Democrats in the worst of times never had a chairman who couldn't pay a phone bill or the rent! The collapse of the Republican Party in Bergen County was happening for some time, but Talario's incompetence only hurried the process to the outright disaster the party faces now. To talk about achievements in the face of mounting losses at all levels of government as well as primaries would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. Political parties have an obligation to offer the voters choices. Mr. Talarico has created lopsided realignment and embedded one-party government. For the sake of taxpayers, the GOP will actually find someone to lead who isn't willing to trade patronage and appointments with the BCDO and Mr. Ferriero.

Personally, I have been against Talarico until he developed the male anatomy to throw O'Toole and Russo off the BC Republican line. Talarico's problem is he is a conservative and the Bergen County organization is not. The entire BCRO is filled with county and municipal workers. Not to mention the population of the Bergen County Utility Authority (BCUA). How can we get any fiscal responsibility with half the county committee works for the County, Utilities, and municipalities all seeking our tax dollars for their benefit?

There should be laws preventing anyone working for the government from running for election. Either take a paycheck or run for office, that's it. They are on both sides of the negotiation table and we the taxpayers are screwed.

All would do a great job and turn the tide! By the way how long before Guy becomes a Democrat???

PSC,

Yea right! How about finding someone who's capable of establishing Republican Principles instead of hiding from them?

There once was a chairman named Guy.

Whose tenure went sadly awry.

He baited with race.

Then resigned in disgrace.

Bidding Bergen a final goodbye.

adding to this post, I was out getting the champagne.

The next chair needs to be young, energetic, have political experience and most importantly, have the ability to raise money. To rebuild an organization like this it may take a team of like minded individuals. We saw what happens when there is an absentee chairman in a county as important for Republican as this.

Micco for Chair., Ortiz for Finance Chair, Kazmierczak for ED.

“I’m proud of my record and the advancements we have made,” he said in a statement. Proud of losing the entire county to the Dems? Under his leadership, the BCRO set a new standard for sucking.

... municipal counterparts. Without strong local chairs who are active in their communities throughout the year, you will never make the inroads necessary to take back Bergen or any other county. When I was active in politics we formed non-partisan citizen interest groups and ran candidates from these ranks for town council and the board of ed every year in an overwhelmingly Democrat municipality. Even if we didn't win, we accomplished two critical things: (1) kept tax issues in the local paper virtually every week; and (2) built bridges to Dems and independents (who were equal in # to the Dems and represented the swing vote) who were sympathetic to our message. When the partisan county elections rolled around, we had a strong nucleus within the town to draw from and actually beat the Dems more often than not. The beauty of this type of guerilla warfare is that it is surprisingly inexpensive to wage (feature articles and letters to the editor in local papers are absolutely free) and you realize that every person you bring into your circle of influence has at least a dozen other people with whom they have sway (or even more if you can convert a leader of an existing civic group). You quickly find that a core group of as little as 6 passionate apostles will yield a flock of hundreds of believers in a matter of months.  Whoever becomes Bergen County Chair should take an inventory of the municpal organizations, clean out any dead wood and teach their chairs how to make inroads on local issues that will pay off in regional or county-wide elections.

“I’m proud of my record and the advancements we have made,”

Hey Somerset, perhaps he was refering to his successful track record of getting Democrats elected!

As bad as Guy Talarico is, there IS a chairman that is much worse than him still out there and his name is Jose Arango. Nobody is worse than Arango who doesn't hide the fact that he bows to the will of the HCDO who keeps him employed in Jersey City.

Getting Talarico out of the way is fantastic and a huge step in the right direction. Getting rid of Arango will get the other half of the mission accomplished. "
