The Curely Shuffle

I have to wonder what is really behind former Red Bank Councilman and current GOP candidate for Monmouth County Freeholder, John Curley's move to Middletown. It just doesn't seem right, why all of the sudden did he resign from the Red Bank Town Council and state that the reason for his resignation was that he was moving to Middletown?

From all that I have read and heard about him, he seems to be a man with a great amount of integrity, so to me this just doesn't add up.

I wonder if he made some kind of deal with the Middletown GOP to be a candidate for the Middletown Township Committee, if his current bid for Freeholder is unsuccessful this November.
After loosing the last two elections in Middletown the local Republican Party is desperate for a decisive victory to maintain control in town, I wouldn't put it past them.
