A Republican getting 44% in statewide election will probably be carrying this district.
He won’t be running against Booker this time. Is the rat candidate for the seat a clown like Booker who will make several gaffes? Booker was a cinch to lose the more Republican areas of the state.
If he’s elected how will he do in 2016 when the rat candidate for President may be carrying the district?
Why risk it with this chump? Knowing him he’ll probably pull an Oberweis and run for the Senate again, or Governor, and lose again.
He also wasn’t carpetbagging in another district when he beat Booker in that district. Lonegan made a pledge in his Senate race that it would be his “last” campaign if he didn’t win, then broke it a few months later and ran in an area of the state he’s not from when an open seat became available. The Dem will no doubt slam him for that, and it will be an issue in a tossup district.
Alex Sink just managed to lose a tossup congressional district she had won as an unsuccessful statewide candidate in earlier election. Her supporters no doubt had the same confidence that Lonegan’s fan club has.
Oh well, just remember, you were warned...
(Now who wants to take bets on how soon Oberweis and Lonegan’s undying fanclubs will launch efforts to “draft” them again in 2016?)
