Whelan is running his usual filthy style campaign against Atlantic County Sheriff Frank Something that I've never witnessed ever before in electoral politics is taking place. Balles in District 2. Whelan, through an allegedly unaffiliated "outside" group is skewering Everyone, even the media has abandoned this race. They actually say that only the margin of Balles with near daily hyper-negative mailings - to mostly female voters, attacking Balles' a Christie victory remains in doubt. This is unprecedented at so many levels. honest and integrity. They've also launched www.BadNewsBalles.com to attack Balles. No one gives Buono a chance. You almost never see something like this at the gubernatorial It's Whelan's dirtiest campaign to date and they've all been quite dirty. Whelan's trick is to level. Especially in the dark blue state of New Jersey. try to poison the well that the County's top law enforcement official (Balles) is a law breaker and rule breaker.
