Does NJ have any law about candidates needing a majority to take office, or will a plurality suffice? If any sort of appealing third party candidate emerges, it seems that Kean and Menendez could both easily end up getting in the 40's.
No one seems to like Menendez much, but NJ is solidly Democratic, so you're going to end up with lots of voters who usually go Democratic, but don't really like the Democrat. Those people could probably be swayed by any sort of convincing Independent/Green or whatever. Hell, the Republican isn't even that extreme, some far-right candidate could also take away lots of votes.
