And that’s a pickup as Tom Kean, Jr. will doubtlessly supplant the current Senator, that corrupt puppet of Jon Corzine, Robert Menendez:
A psychiatrist who worked as an FBI informant in a criminal investigation of several northern New Jersey politicians has linked Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez to a scheme to manipulate government contracts, several published reports said Thursday.Despite the current polls, this will sink Menendez as New Jersey voters turn away from corrupt officials. Even the “switcheroo” won’t work since Kean is a popular scion of New Jersey. Chalk it up.
In court papers filed in New Jersey in March, Oscar Sandoval said he was pressured in 1999 to hire a doctor Menendez preferred or he would risk losing $1 million in government contracts. Sandoval taped the 20-minute telephone call with Donald Scarinci, a longtime friend of Menendez who is also a powerful lawyer and has been a fundraiser for Menendez's campaign.

64% of New Jerseyans disapprove of George W. Bush, and just 32% approve.

The 2:1 ratio in NJ is one of the starkest in the country. In the same Menendez-Kean poll, the Bush approval rating's just 30%. And more than half the voters "closely" associate Kean and Bush.
But hey, there's absolutely no possible, conceivable way you can lose. New Jersey has never, ever elected a Democrat whose name was connected to scandal. Or, in 5-term Mayor Sharpe James' case, at least they didn't re-re-re-re-re-re-elect a Democrat whose name was connected with scandal.
Congratulations in advance! This one is over!
Um, yeah. That's what I'm saying.
But thanks for your affirmation.
I'll see your 50-50 GOP lock, and raise you a former "shoo-in" Republican Representative who sends dirty emails to scrumptious young pages.
Now that district's simultaneously a Dem pickup, and an unsuccessful GOP pickup.
