What are the means for the d’s to steal the election? That is the only question that matters in elections, these days.

In Jersey? LOL, the means are almost infinite.

Ballot-box stuffing. Assassination. Getting Al Sharpton to spike up turnout to 147% of registered voters (half of whom live in Bedford-Stuyvesant).

Getting the NBPP to Mau-Mau the honkey vote.

Want more?

According to a Fox story, he has gone from 35 points down to 12 points (3 on internals) while being outspent nearly 10 to 1. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/10/democrat-darling-cory-booker-facing-battle-as-nj-senate-race-tightens/

Something’s happening beyond the normal tightening, just hope there’s enough time and funding increases. The Republicans need to invest in Lonegon even if some don’t like his Tea Party / conservative leanings. This race has been hidden from the national news - if Booker wins (even though by a lot less than the 35% it could have been), Zero will claim its a national affirmation of his policies. If he loses, we probably won’t even hear about it on any media.

Time to donate and contact the National Republican Senatorial Committee and urge them to fund this campaign. Even if he loses - they need to make the point that this was a Senate race that wouldn’t have even been a contest but for the shutdown, and like when Scott Brown was elected - this is all about rejection of Obamacare even by Democrats.

“former three-term Bogota mayor”

How does a guy expunge three terms?
Sounds a little like a former career politician.

Do these folks ever study WRITING at these Journalism Schools?

Every time she comes out in public like this, I fear for her safety.

I like his confidence too. When he wins, maybe he can spread it to the rest of the GOP.

This man is a true believer and not an actor like any one of the gop/e. I HATE THE GOP/E... I mean I despise them as much as I do reid, piglosi and obummer.

I think what’s hurting Booker is the tweeting stuff. Apparently multiple sources have said that Booker tweets non-stop, no room for mayoral type stuff.

And it appears to be true.

I have been sending him money all during his campaign.

He could use some more FReeper help, if you can spare a few bux!

We must defeat Cory Booker!

Every Republican win between now and November 2014 is one more finger in the LIEberal eye!

I live in Flori-duh, but it is important to elect conservatives every chance we get!

I heard this guy on Medved, I'm energized, and I agree with him. This would be huge. If he has turnout he wins. Send him money. He's been outspent over 10 to 1.

I think there’s a chance - despite Booker outspending Lonegan 10:1 he’s been closing in on the polls. While he’s still behind by 10 (from 30) special elections tend to have very low turnout. ex. only 9% turnout on NJ senate primaries.

And we know motivated conservatives do very well in elections where turnout is low.

Steve Lonegan served as the Mayor of Bogota for twelve years, winning three times in a town that gave Barack Obama 67.5 percent of the vote in 2012.

So how does one reconcile the facts that Bogata voted for a Marxist, Obama and a conservative Steve Lonegan?

Turnout?...as in people who hate both big-government and big-government-lite, who usually don't turn out, and who WILL turn out to vote for a real small government candidate.

Maybe I read too much into the voting results of small town Bogata.

Let's see what happens state wide.

The GOP Consultants' Guild was engaging in static analysis. Yes, the GOP started in a poor position...but things are changing in their favor. Events take on a life of their own--and courage can change the dynamic.

In many historic battles, the guys who flinched first lost. And the Democrats actually have more to lose, don't they?

If the GOP can stand firm and get the Demogogue Party to stand down, the victory will change the political landscape.

This type of campaign should resonate across the country. Any conservative who has thought about running for office, please give it another serious consideration. We are starved for your leadership and inspiration.

Best of luck Steve Lonegan.

Never underestimate the GOP-elite’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I will say this much for him, Lonegan has a lot of fight in him. I dont think he willwin unless there is a massive failure of the Dem base to turn out. But, never the less it is good to see.

You’d think New Jersey has enough people with common sense to put things like that together,

Well, if you think that, you will be blind sided.

Sat with a bunch of self proclaimed pubbies that also believed, in their hearts, that they were a "conservative" bunch.

Then, they opened their pie holes and a bunch of liberal fart gas fell out.

They were "stunned" when I told them to eff off, and left.

His staff should watch for voter fraud. Let’s not forget - we are talking about a deep blue state here.

That’s one thing I’ve noticed about Republicans from the Northeast (not all - but most) they fight and know how to fight!
