Close race in New Jersey – I’ll admit that the race between Bob Menendez and Tom Kean Jr. is #1 on my midterm election radar. I grew up in New Jersey when Tom Kean Sr. was governor and if Junior can’t win against a frumpy Democrat under federal investigation, then I give up on the Garden State. It’s still an uphill battle for Kean given the blueness of the state, but two recent polls have it as a dead heat. And now the NRSC is going to open its wallet and pump $5 million into Kean’s campaign.
