McMorrow nearing winner's circle

With more than 95 percent of the votes counted, Barbara McMorrow is poised to become the first Democrat to win a freeholder seat in Monmouth County in 21 years. She has a 4,600 vote lead. It doesn't look like her running mate, Greg Gibadlo, or Democratic surrogate candidate, Beverly Bova Scarano, will make it. Gibadlo trails by about 3,500 votes; Bova Scarano is about 5,000 votes behind.
