Libertarian vice presidential candidate Judge Jim Gray made a campaign stop in Mahwah Wednesday
Libertarian vice presidential candidate Jim Gray believes that he and presidential candidate, former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, can beat the two major party candidates for president, he told a group of about two dozen students and residents at Ramapo College in Mahwah Wednesday morning. Gray, a retired trial judge from Orange County Calif., told an interested audience that he feels two choices in a presidential election is not enough. He referred to Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney as “Robamney, because they are so similar to one another in so many ways.” He outlined platforms at the Mahwah campaign stop that he said would be “revolutionary” if he and Johnson were elected: Though Gray said he …

Now that the Democratic and Republican delegates have officially chosen their nominees, Patch wants to know: Who are you betting on?
It's official: With President Barack Obama's acceptance speech in Charlotte Thursday night, both the Republicans and Democrats have formally chosen their nominees for the 2012 presidential election.

Administrative Law judge says issue is irrelevant; Obama is automatically on ballot as President.
A state judge has ruled against objectors seeking to remove President Barack Obama's name from New Jersey's upcoming primary ballot. Administrative Law Judge Jeff Masin ruled against the ballot challenge following a more than three-hour hearing earlier this week, according to attorney Mario Apuzzo, who represents two New Jersey men who brought the challenge.

The judge ruled that Obama's place on the ballot could not be removed by challenge because Obama, as president, automatically appears on the ballot. "The sham continues. In one way or another it's…
