New Jersey

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Forrester is a terrible candidate. The Republicans only ran him in 2002 because he had lots of money, not expecting him to win, and then got a chance when all the scandals on Torricelli broke. He has no chance against any half decent candidate.

Look at my "complete party control map" I made awhile back. NJ is one of the 3 states (now that it appears Rossi won in WA) that the Democrats control the governor's office, both Senate seats, both houses of the legislature and a majority of Congressmen. And NJ is not trending Republican, quite the opposite. Look at the 1988 results.

But what about your point concerning Forrester and his money? Corzine became someone big for that same reason.

NJ is a Democratic-leaning state. Just because Corzine can win doesn't mean Forrester can.

You said the only thing Forrester had going for him was money. Same thing with Corzine, right? If Corzine didn't have the millions that he has during that Senate race, Franks would have been able to overcome the margin and win the seat.

but since NJ is a Democratic-leaning state (it's actually much more than that), a lot of money might be enough for a Democrat, but not a Republican.
