Note that they didn't mention Neil Cohen's party, except to say (at the end of the article) that the Union County DEMOCRATIC Committee had 35 days to pick a temporary successor. What do you think would have happened if Cohen were a Republican?
I just read this book this past weekend. It is an excellent account of this guy's life, though I admit some of it looks a bit contrived. Still, it is an amazing story of transformation, and leaves a lot of questions about that side of American society. I don't necessarily agree with all the guy's conclusions, but he does make a good case for hard work and living below one's means (which so many people can't seem to do anymore).
