N.J. 101.5's Jersey Guys Cited As 9th Most Powerful In State By PoliticsNJ.com

The influential POLITICSNJ.COM website has released its "POWER LIST 100" of the most powerful political figures in NEW JERSEY, and in at #9 are CRAIG CARTON & RAY ROSSI, MILLENNIUM Talk WKXW & WXKW (NEW JERSEY 101.5)/TRENTON's "JERSEY GUYS" afternoon team. The site, giving them props in a backhanded manner, writes, "NJ 101.5 FM’s THE JERSEY GUYS offend huge segments of the state’s population, often don’t care about the facts -- but that’s exactly what gives them so much shwack in the political arena. What they say has actually influenced elections -- though not necessarily for the person they were trying to hurt (see JUN CHOI) -- and any way you look at it, that’s real power."

And at the bottom of the list, selected by readers in an online vote, is Religion WIBG-A (LIFE RADIO 1020)/OCEAN CITY-ATLANTIC CITY morning talk host HARRY HURLEY, about whom the site writes, "The radio talk show host's influence is limited to ATLANTIC COUNTY, but people listen to him there -- and when it comes to NEW JERSEY politics, what happens in ATLANTIC CITY hardly stays just there. Keep an eye on what this broadcaster/webmaster says this fall about pivotal races for County Executive, State Senate and Assembly: he can actually swing votes."
