You know, there is a third Republican actively running, State Assemblyman Rick Merkt, in spite of everyone on this thread making this into a "Christie vs. Longean" race.

Reminds me of the presidential election when I was told the "only" candidates with any chance in the primaries were Rudy, Romney, and Fred Thompson. Well, they got one of three right (namely Romney)

I don't like being told that I have to support YOUR candidate or I'm helping the RINO.

“I don’t like being told that I have to support YOUR candidate or I’m helping the RINO.”

Lonegan is not my candidate. Merkt actually looks like the class of the field, but is generally given no chance of winning on June 2. Anyway, thanks for bringing him to my attention.
