Talk about a misleading headline, since Kean is LEADING this race. And a "4-point lead" = "virtual tie"? More typical AP reporting...

Hey, I'm concerned he'll go wobbly on the war.

But then again, I'm not voting for him anyway.

See tagline.

I am starting to think '06 won't be nearly as bad for the GOP as we have feared.

It is looking more and more like a status quo election and with a few breaks we might even pick up a seat or two.

Maybe the war is a boon for Kean since the incumbent (sort of) is Menendez. Great spin!

"Those asked about Bush and Iraq first gave Menendez a 41-39 percent edge. But respondents not asked to think about the war first gave favored Kean, 47-36 percent."



Here's the problem with this poll and others. The real truth about the war is that sadly enough, people DON'T CARE about it EITHER way. When the rodents turn out against the war they get 200 or less people no matter where. When Americans are asked to turn out to support the war the turn out is about 200 people.


NO MATTER WHAT THE "Experts" in the Beltway have talked themselves into believing, people just don't care about the war. When open ended surveys ask what issues are important to people, they say things like : the economy is bad, the war is bad, this is bad that is bad. These are answers from people who are not paying attention. They are pleasing the questioner. How can ANY thinking American say the economy is bad?


So the ratpollsters use the war question as a way of working for rat candidates. They are, in effect, saying "Hey you're losing, so you better tie your opponent to the war because nothing else is working."


Menedez is a thief. He was a thief when he was the mayor of Union and he was the Hudson County rat party's bag man for 12 years. Voters know this. But this is New Jersey where voters are dumber than in any other state.

Regardless of these bull shiite polls, if the brain dead voters in NJ are sick of ratcrap, menedez is gone. If they will eat another hot steaming plate of rat droppings, Kean is gone. It really is as simple as that.

This is huge new, because a) he's had a steady lead, and b) because I think ALL the polls are, for some weird reason, undersampling Pubbies. If Santorum and Burns hold, and we lose Chafee, right now there is no change. But I think we'll also get MN for +1. Now, if Chafee has more starch in his drawers than I think, it could really get interesting . . . and downright suicidal for the Dems.

The U.S. Senate race between Republican Tom Kean Jr.

Is this the same Tom Kean who led 9/11 committee whitewash for the Democrats?

Since NJ is Latino north I doubt that Kean has a real chance war or not.

What's the deal with all of the "undecided"s? BS poll.
