I don’t know the rep here, but it sounds like a real loss since Jersey Republicans are an endangered species. 37 years old and no stomach for a fight?

Ferguson was a nice guy, but a real amateur in politics. He comes from a wealthy family and he moved around New Jersey until he found a district where he could win as a "moderate" Republican.

His decision was probably based on any of several factors: (1) he thought he was going to lose in 2008; (2) he didn't like the idea of being in the minority party in Washington; (3) he knows that New Jersey is a dysfunctional sh!t-hole and doesn't want to live there anymore; and/or (4) he just got bored with the job and wants to do something else.

Damn, well whoever runs I sure do hope that we see some more “Linda Stender is a Big Spender” posters. Honestly, the atmosphere is better for Republicans this time around and this is a largely Republican district. I think it is a hold.
