Trust me on this one -- and I say this as a New Jersey voter . . .
The best scenario on election day would be one in which the GOP retains control of the Senate and loses this race. This is exactly what happened in 2002 when Lautenberg replaced Torricelli after the ballot deadline had passed.
The last thing this country needs is any influence within the majority party in Washington from this state. New Jersey currently sends far more tax revenue to Washington than it gets back in Federal appropriations, and as this place gets more and more crowded with misfits from New York City, immigrants (legal and illegal alike) from every Third World rat-hole on the planet, and neurotic, self-obsessed homosexuals (in light of yesterday's New Jersey supreme court ruling), I say let's keep it that way.
Maybe, but I'm sure Kean wouldn't support judicial filibusters. That's about the only good Chaffee is to the GOP as well. I've been very pleased with the appointments of Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court.
Agreed. Kean is beyond holding your nose. He's a Jeffords/Chafee waiting to happen. A win by that little weasel would only embolden other scumbag liberal Republicans. The GOP does not need another liberal Republican Senator. At least a Democrat will stab you in the front.
I wonder how many Jerseyites feel that way? They are certainly getting screwed!
Jersey gets the least return per capita on federal taxes of any state. I'm surprised my state, Maryland, is pulling in its share. Not as well as Virginia, of course...
