After Menendez is re-elected by the clueless voters, he'll resign and Corzine will appoint a more honest man in his stead... Maybe Toricelli, for example, or possibly McGreevy.
Hardly to be said that the republicans didn't give him any money.
Sheesh... no bias in this article...
NJ voters arent very smart are they? Gee which party would raise my taxes...hmmn?? Let me think....
Why Republicans from N-E are always RINOs?!
Are you sure?

New Jersey Senate: Kean Retakes Lead
Kean (R) 44% Menendez (D) 39%
September 6, 2006
Republican State Senator Tom Kean, Jr.Republican State Senator Tom Kean Jr., son of the former NJ Governor, again leads Democratic Senator Bob Menendez in New Jersey's race for U.S. Senate. The latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Kean with 44% of the vote while Menendez is at 39%. (see crosstabs) In our last two polls, Menendez, an appointed incumbent, held a six-point lead.
To reflect the reversal, we are now revising our assessment of the contest from "Leans Democrat" to "Toss-Up" in our Senate Balance of Power ratings. Menendez thus becomes the only Senate Democrat not favored to win re-election. Three Republican incumbents (DeWine, Burns, Chafee) find themselves in Toss-Up races. Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorums (R) race is ranked as Leans Democrat.
The new numbers in the Garden State represent a dramatic shift from the last two polls, but the contest has been close all year. Neither candidate has been able to move above the low-40s in terms of voter support.
Kean has a famous name, but New Jersey leans Democrat. The candidates have been swapping charges of corruption and ethical conduct, and it may be that the incumbent is getting the worst of it. Kean has been slamming Menendez hard about rent he collected for several years from a nonprofit agency for which he helped get federal funding.
Menendez now attracts just 70% of Democrats (down from 77% in June, whereas Kean's support from the GOP base is now at 85%. Twelve percent (12%) of Democrats are "not sure" who to support. That's a pretty wobbly base as the race enters the home stretch.
Meanwhile, Kean enjoys a clear advantage not only with Republicans and conservatives but also with unaffiliated voters (43% to 29%) and moderates (52% to 33%).
Kean's "very favorable" number (14%) is twice as high as his "very unfavorable" (7%). The reverse is true for Menendez whose numbers are 16% "very unfavorable" and 9% "very favorable."
Forty-one percent (41%) of all voters see Menendez as politically liberal while 33% say hes a moderate. Twenty-one percent (21%) dont know enough to have an opinion. Thats high for an incumbent, but Menendez was appointed by Governor Corzine (D) and has held office for less than a year.
A plurality (42%) see the Republican challenger as politically moderate. Thirty-two percent (32%) say hes a conservative and 19% are not sure.

The brain dead voters of New Jersey know who and what bagman bobbie is. If the Jersey rat loses his nerve and drops bagman, they will elect the gay American. Only a smart play by Christie can nail this seat down, the voters are way too stupid.
Pretending it's close to cover up for the fraud they have planned.
Are you sarcasming back my sarcasm or did you think I was serious?
The first one, my friend... ---> /s on /s
Allow me to correct your statement: "Gee which party would raise my taxes more...hmmn?? Let me think...."
That's better. NJ RINO's smell only slightly less than the liberal turds in this cesspool of a state.
Why Republicans from NJ are always RINOs?!
Only a handful od NE pubbies are Rino's all NJ pubbies are Rino's.
I don't understand why there is anytension or excitement at all about the "polls" in NJ. The voting blocs that determine NJ elections never participate in polls, namely Dead-Americans and Illegal-Americans.
Are you sure this is the democrat voting-bloc only in NJ?
you forgot about all the pets that also vote!
besides...if it gets too problematic for menendez...he will be substituted with cody or bradley....after all...per the last court decision after the torch...the dems can do anything!!!
The people who vote dem in nj generally don't pay federal income taxes, they're the inner city poor, or they're dead people voting from the grave.
