Yup. The GOP ran what you would call "a centrist who would appeal to moderates and centrist democrats in blue states" (Kean Jr.) against a completely beatable and corrupt Menendez. And what happened? Mr. RINO got SMOKED. Seems like your little plan doesn't work all the time, does it?
And, if you think that running RINOs will somehow help the GOP, I ask you why didn't Rudy run against Hillary for the NY Senate seat? My answer: He would have gotten SMOKED just as Kean, Jr. did in Jersey.

Hardly my fault NJ doesn't have a viable GOP.

My answer: He would have gotten SMOKED just as Kean, Jr. did in Jersey.Rudy DID run, he dropped out because he had a personal battle against cancer. I believe you're wrong though, he would have SMOKED Hillary since he was leading in the polls when he dropped out to check himself into chemotherapy treatment. Whether you like him or not, he's STILL a popular political figure both in NY and around this country.

I would point out to you that you guys ran that conservative mayor the last time...Brit Schundler, I believe his name was. He also lost.
The democrat machine runs your state. I don't think it matters if one runs a liberal, moderate, or conservative Republican. They all will lose.

If you are talking about the N.Y. Senate race in '06, then you have no concept of how politics works; NONE!
Rudy is going to run for president. He knew this months ago. For him to run against Hillary and having won, WHICH HE WOULD HAVE DONE and then, turn right around and said that he was running for president, would not only have looked TERRIBLE, but unethical and stupid!
It's one thing for Hillary, or any other sitting Senator to run for reelection, when everyone knows that she/they have no intent to do anything else, but run for president, but quite another thing, entirely, for someone NOT an incumbent to do that.
Your knowledge and understanding of politics is sorely lacking; as are you ability to think rationally and logically.
