This one could go either way. Afterall, NJ did elect Christie as well as Todd-Whitman. The shutdown is hurting the dems big time. Obamacare roll out this week is only confirming to the public on how unpopular it is.
This race is to replace “The Laut”, who was out of touch with the public as he aged and he was not very popular. NJ’s junior senator is a sex maniac who took underage girls out of the country. All of this sets the stage of a huge upset.
Lonegan needs to stay on message, attack Obamacare and link Booker to Obama and the democrat senate. What is playing out in Washington now is only hurting Booker and that may be one of the reasons why he is going negative.
Of course, Booker could easily win by 15 points. After all, we are talking about New Jersey. But with Obama’s approval rating of 41% (an all time low by Gallup), I think that Booker has more liabilities now than if this race was held 1-3 years ago.
I am sorry to see the situation so fluid. Does Lonegan have an effective ground game?
