How does the classic song go? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Don’t kick Tom Judge Sr. to the curb just yet.
A few months back the head of the Delco GOP announced he was stepping down. It set a lot of tongues wagging as to who would take over the top spot.
Here’s the answer: Judge, at least for a little while longer.
Judge announced he would stay on as the party leader through the November elections. He’s also setting up a board to come up with an interim leader in November. His term runs until 2012. The members of the panel are Upper Darby Republican leder John McNichol, Springfield leader Michael Puppio, and Kenneth Miller of Concord.
No doubt there will be lots of motives assigned to the decision by Judge not to leave the stage just yet. He says he wants to keep the same together through the November election.
Democrats, boosted by increasing registration numbers, have been making a few inroads into what was always reliable GOP turf recently. But one thing they have not been able to dent is the Republican fortress known as the County Courthouse.
This November two seats on County Council are up for grabs, as well as the sheriff’s post and a new seat on the county bench.
It appears unlikely at this point that Democrats will be able to crack the lineup in Media.
At least not yet. Maybe Judge just doesn’t feel like taking any chances.
