Nobody probably ever voted for a candidate because they liked their campaign manager.
So the departure of Max Glass as Tammy Murphy’s campaign manager (first reported by the New York Times) is unlikely to sway the June primary.
But it’s not good news either.
Clearly, the departure is a visible sign of a campaign that is definitely struggling.
Murphy was behind by double digits in a recent poll by FDU, but that was just the start of her troubles.
She was beaten – quite convincingly – at the Monmouth County convention on Feb 10.
After last Sunday’s debate, her main opponent, Andy Kim, accused the Murphy campaign of trying to “bully” Democratic committee members leading up to this Saturday’s convention in Burlington County. The Hunterdon County convention is Sunday. Bullying really isn’t a good look.
Both counties, quite candidly, are far less important than larger counties like Essex and Hudson, but losing – from a psychological perspective alone – is not good.
So the conventions this weekend are important.
The overall problem here is an obvious one. Many rank and file Democrats say they don’t like the governor trying to make his wife a U.S. senator.
No matter how “Team Tammy” spins things, that really is the bottom line.
Suffice to say, whoever becomes the First Lady’s new campaign manager is not going to have an easy job.
