Senate President Steve Sweeney is set to concede his re-election defeat on Wednesday and Democrats have scheduled an election this Friday to choose his successor, the New Jersey Globe has learned.

Nicholas Scutari, the current Senate Judiciary chairman, has a lock on the position, a New Jersey Globe tally shows, but still must face a vote. State Sen. Nia Gill is challenging him in a bid to become the first woman and first person of color to serve as Senate President.

Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz is set to become the state’s first Latina majority leader, although a Star-Ledger editorial is trying to push her into the Senate President race.

Republican Edward Durr ousted Sweeney, a senator for the last 20 years and the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history, in last week’s election. He now has a 2,212-vote lead over Sweeney in the 3rd legislative district.

Sweeney had scheduled an announcement for today – which was expected to be a concession – but that event never occurred.

I was a member for about 5 years. Our group joined because health insurance through the AMA was cheaper than we could find elsewhere.

We left about 10 years ago.

I still get an "invoice" for membership dues (about $1400, irrc) about three times a year, even though I've not been a member for at least 10 years.

If you need a Facebook portal in the bathroom while taking a dump, you've got some deep underlying issues.

He's just brown-nosing to royalty.

Me: Your honor, it was an accident that I ran over my EX. It was not intentional.

Judge: Mr. Improv.. sir.... you ran over her, backed up over her and ran over her again.

Why would anyone use such a laptop instead of an Android- or iOS-based tablet with keyboard?

A followup to that question is why would anyone use a Chromebook?

The cheapest iPad is $329, and a keyboard case will run another $80 or so. Perhaps that's the reason?

I've never quite understood the reason for Chrome OS as an OS different from Android.

So glad he reached out.

Wood is cut and stacked, ready to go.

A finer encomium would be hard to find. 👍👍👍

My best-ever manager was a cook who was at the time a CIA student. Absolutely, completely mad. But knew his shit in the kitchen.

I use what he taught me every day, and I think of the mad bastard every time I pick up a kitchen knife.

Interesting @ george.

Narnia.

Never read any of that.

Revel in my ignorance!

Are Mensans Mentats??

Another courageous and principled stand from our departed POTUS. Never afraid to say something that might lose him some friends, but which is simply the right thing to say.
