Is Lautenberg in trouble?

NJ is an interesting state and a good example of extreme polarization. You got the Camden/Newark-esque urban areas that will vote virtually 100% Democratic and are essentially unswingable, then you have those giant uber-affluent semi-rural areas that are the most partisan GOP type of place that exists and just vote for whoever has the R next to their name. The rest of the state consists mostly of communities of New York transplants and liberal yuppies, just not the type of swingable areas. The Democrats never win NJ by much, but they always win it.

I wish all states voted like NJ. Refusing to vote for Republicans under any circumstances whatsoever is always a good thing.

I'll admit the only place Bob Menendez belongs in is federal prison yet I would've voted for him in a heartbeat last November with no qualms whatsoever. Well actually I would have qualms, but over his votes on flag burning and torture, not his corruption. And frankly, I'd rather have a criminal than someone even dumber than Jim Bunning who would be lucky to be flipping burgers if it wasn't for his father, that of course being an accurate description of that waste of life Kean, Jr. I hope he runs against Corzine so I can watch him get his ass kicked again.

No Republican has won a statewide election in New Jersey since 1994.

Hmmmm, forgot about that. She did however barely win and got less than 50%, so one can accurately say that no Republican has ever gotten over 50% or won by more than 1.5 points statewide in New Jersey since 1993.

Point is the Republicans in NJ are too weak to beat Lautenberg.
