Jul 16, 2009

Red Bank Mayor Pasquale Menna holds a chair for Gov. Jon Corzine prior to a radio interview at the KaBoom Fireworks on July 3. The Corzine campaign did not return the favor.

It’s official. The most reliable bloc of Democratic voters in Monmouth County has been shut out of their party’s biggest-ever event hereabouts: today’s scheduled appearance by resident Obama at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel.

And the snub comes from the re-election campaign of Gov. Jon Corzine, who was feted and fawned over by the party faithful twice in recent weeks.

Yeah, this one has to be among the blurriest photos redbankgreen has ever published. But it’s the best shot we got as Gov. Jon Corzine headed back to his awaiting motorcade from the Buena Place home of former Red Bank Mayor Ed McKenna, right, following a fundraiser McKenna hosted for Corzine’s re-election effort Tuesday night.
