(About six minutes, from start to finish.) He sat in on the interviews for candidates the evening before, though not as a voting committee member. He knows who, out of the
10 contenders, the committee is going to recommend at the Ocean County Republican Organization later that evening. He does not know if one of the other nine will contest it.
