NJ-Sen: Menendez +3

[Ben.]

That's a lot of undecideds... but i'm pretty sure in the end Kean wins.

[Ben.]

This election is the Dems PA.

Something which i've said before

Though i think it more acurate to say Kean is the GOP's Bob Casey as Menendez is no Santorum and NJ isnt PA.

[Ben.]

...the race will be a VERY close one up until election day when the people of New Jersey remember that they have elected Corzine and Lautenberg as well.

And remembering that you are already represented by Corzine and Lautenberg makes you want to vote for another corrupt, NJ Dem machine hack like Menendez because?

[Ben.]

The same thing will happen this year.

Oh the arrogance… not to mention the hypocrisy!

When Republicans like Burns are up for re-election the Dems are so keen to say that corruption and links to lobbyists will spell his doom (and well it might)… but when it comes to their own corrupt office holders like Menendez (and potentially for that matter Sherrod Brown in OH) it will some how not be a factor.

Lets not forget that Kean is not Forrester, there is no enthusiasm in NJ for the Democratic Party is just so happens that in a dirty race between two flawed candidates the one with more money and the partisan advantage of his state on his side won… in a Kean v Menendez fight, cash is unlikely to favour one over the other, folks have a far higher estimation of Kean than Menendez and in the end the only thing going for the Dems will be partisan advantage and I doubt it’ll be enough.
