I've been very quiet about the New Jersey race. Odd, since I'm living right across the Hudson right now. I can honestly say I'm undecided. I think Kean's dad did a fantastic job as governor, but that's no real reason to vote for him. I also think Menendez is an idiot, the archetype of the corrupt urban Democrat. I was saying this a year ago: If Corzine had appointed someone like Rob Andrews, Rush Holt, or Dick Codey, we wouldn't have had to worry about this race. It's kind of a shame really, since by all accounts we should be winning this race hands down.
Basically, I don't like either candidate, but I'm very close to supporting Kean. The ONLY thing that would make me support Menendez is because it could allow us to take control of the Senate.
You should look more deeply into the allegations. Most have been disproved. Yes, I too would have rathered a candidate who couldnt even be thought of as being corrupt.
