As our readers know, in May, the Hudson Reporter newspaper group conducted a Hoboken mayoral debate in our office between the two runoff candidates, Councilman Peter Cammarano and Councilwoman Dawn Zimmer.
To learn more about their personalities and see how they reacted to an offbeat question, we asked them to name their favorite Beatle.
Zimmer blanked on the question, something Cammarano (and the local press) had fun with later. Cammarano enthusiastically chose John Lennon.
