Union County's Charlotte DeFilippo losing her mojo?




Union County Dem Chair Charlotte DeFilippo

Whispers abound that the powers-that-be are looking for a replacement for Union County Dem Chair Charlotte DeFilippo.

Between her loss of control over the local political situations in Hillside (her hometown), Roselle and Linden, and with a near-death experience in Plainfield, the buzz seems to be that she is losing her mojo.

Add to this the woman-behind-the-yellow-curtain scenes of the past year or so (pols at this level are supposed to really work behind the scenes and not have something to say to every reporter on every issue), and you can understand why the rumors swirl. For comparison, see how many times you can find that South Jersey political powerhouse George Norcross has spoken to the press in the past year.

And the situation is not helped by concerns about her health.

Too bad that she only came in Numero 11 in PoliticsNJ's recent 'Power List 100' -- she missed getting her picture on the website by a whisker.

But the real question on everyone's mind is, who's next?
