I think if there is a hypothetical short list he could pick Rik Mehta, Anthony Ghee, Diane Allen, Kristin Corrado, and Christine Hanlon

When will he announce?

Who knows, but he has until July 22nd I believe.

WSNJ: Expect an announcement today or tomorrow.

Is the choice still a total mystery or does it seem to be trending towards a particular candidate?

It seems to be a total mystery there hasn't even been a "leaked" short list.

OVerdeck is the only one that is a game changer.

Don't you think Rik Mehta might be more helpful because he could attract Indian voters to Jack Ciattarelli?

Yes I do, but he already lost a statewide election so he may have to much baggage at this point.

So did Sheila Oliver in her primary in NJ Senate primary election and now she is the Lt. Gov., but I would personally would pick Rik Mehta if I were Ciattarelli.

To be fair that was a low turn out primary election. Murphy didn’t win because he put Oliver on the ticket. He put her on it because he needed someone to help navigate Trenton once he got there.

But to your point, Mehta did receive the most votes of any republican U.S. candidate in Jersey history and his name recognition could go a long way considering Jack is seriously lacking in the name recognition department.

So I guess no Lt. Gov. announcement. I wonder when it will be now considering Ciattarelli said he’d make an announcement before June 30.

I don't agree that Mehta would allow Jack to reach out to Indians. Indians in NJ are very liberal. I think Overdeck is the one to go with.
