Go to a bar called "Murphy's Suds & Sawdust" in Rumson. Look around and you will see you are in a working class section of Rumson. By the way it's the coolest bar I've ever been to. It's someone's basement of their home. Right in the middle of a totally residential street. Apparantly it was grandfathered in and the neighborhood build around it over the years. > > The southwest of Asbury Park is the poorest neighborhood in the > > state. > Is there a Web site where this was reported?

To run a successful campaign in any town, you need to build coalitions with differing neighborhoods. You need name recognition among all of them. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
