That's exactly why you posted that comment. The alternative is to give up. Corzine outspent Bob Franks about $67 million to $6 million for the 2000 Senate race, and he only won by 4%.
Honestly, I assure you I'm for whomever the GOP nominee is! However, I'm also a political realist. Corzine was an unproven politician in 2000. Since then, he's only become more well known and more popular among the masses, correct?
I get so irked at those type of comments. I remember all these "Posthumus can't win. He'll lose by 15-20%" comments back in 2002(The actual number was 4). I think they cause people who support the candidate but don't have incentive to stay home and not vote. If we got 110,000 Bush voters who stayed home, we would have won.
There was almost the same thing in 1990. Jim Blanchard was impossible to beat and had a 18 point lead in most polls, narrowed to 13 on election day. The impossible happened and he lost to some then unknown named John Engler.
If the democratcs can fight and win gubenatorial elections in Wyoming, the GOP can fight in Jersey.
