New Jersey, dominated by Democrats in recent elections, has become the best Republican prospect for winning a Democratic-held Senate seat this year. New polls last week indicated appointive Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez falling back to an even race with his Republican challenger, state Sen. Tom Kean Jr.
Quinnipiac University's poll showed Kean gaining nine percentage points in one month to take a two-point lead. The Monmouth University/Gannett poll's first Senate survey had Kean trailing Menendez by one point, but enjoying a 15-point lead among key independent voters.
Kean's edge in the Quinnipiac survey marked the first time a New Jersey Republican candidate for the Senate had led a summer poll since Sen. Clifford Case in 1972. Big Democratic July margins in the state often are trimmed in November. Senators Bill Bradley in 1990 and Frank Lautenberg in 1994 enjoyed summer leads of 46 and 26 points, respectively, before winning by three points each.
New Jerseyites are, sadly, certifiable morons who voted in some of our nations most corrupt politicians: Florio, the Torch, Corzine, Lautenberg, and (possibly) Menendez.
Mewnedez is Slimy....he will win.

I'm assuming you mean the folks who don't post on FreeRepublic.com and cast their votes based upon which person's sign they see posted most-frequently at the side of the road...

I mean Jersey democrat party lemmings!
In The Peoples' Republik of Joisey, the GOP-RINOs and the liberal-demokkkRATs are just flip sides of the same corrupt coin.
waving hello to hillarytown...(:
Even in the GOP leaning year of 2002, NJ reelected LOUSE-enberg, after saying he opposed the death penalty for terrorists. After that revolting incident, I would be stunned if NJ were to dump their other left wing Democrat senator this year.
Remember to factor in the usual lib poll bias. This puts Kean up by about 10 points.
