The Garden State has become an incubator for Detroits.
Any suburban New Jersey voter who looks at his tax bill must decide whether he wants to concede the state on the federal level to the Mayor of Newark. The problem for the suburban voter is his ambivalence but that voter faces a voting block in the inner cities listed above with no ambivalence whatsoever.
Nathan Bedford's first law of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

Sadly, Boehner may be afraid that Lonegan could win in a very low turnout and that would put pressure on Boehner not to cave. Caving is part of Boehner’s nature. Of course if Lonegan wins, he loses big in 2014, when more liberals turn out.
Quoting Nathan Bedford Forrest could get one in big trouble in these liberal states.
New York Times endorsed Booker today, so there go all the moderates and independents who can’t think for themselves without the gray Marxist telling them what to do.
Also a story in the Journal about a new Whole Foods coming to town in the old Hahne’s department store building, a real coup for Cory who has been trying for this for years. The WSJ editorial pages are 75 percent OK, but the news pages can really suck. Studio apartments will be in the same old building for $1100 a month—makes Newark sounds like Williamsburg on the Passaic.

Booger might be.
Many years ago I campaigned for Lonegan outside churches; he is a true conservative.
“You’d think New Jersey has enough people with common sense to put things like that together, and to not relegate the entire state to Newark/Detroit caliber management.”
The problem is that people don’t view senators as having a big role in the management of the state, but rather the management of the country. Christie has successfully combated the teachers’ unions, and that is rare; he is a shoe-in for re-election. Yet the same state that votes for him send schmucks like Menendez to the Senate because they don’t associate him with their personal fortunes/situations.
As far as comparisons to Detroit, I was never so proud to live in NJ as on the day we lost our NBA team to NY. We still host two professional football teams, a hockey team, and a soccer team.

Booker has been desperately trying to lure a white tax base back into the city, but the people in the surrounding areas are (or are descended from) the refugees from the 1960s that fled. The news is filled with the killings going on in Newark, and whites know to stay away. Any new business looks good in a city that hadn’t had a chain supermarket for decades; it won’t compensate for the flight of businesses and taxpayers from the city.
Booker’s most visible failure was watching the NJ Nets move to Brooklyn; having the NJ Devil’s owner publicly say he regretted moving to Newark didn’t help matters. I can’t reconcile Booker’s poll numbers with a state that elected Christie and apparently will re-elect him easily.

Course, this is just a wild guess---
naturally, I could be dead wrong---
but looks to me like Lynsie's very patriotic.
(cackle)
Actually, Christy's win got a major assist from Obama. (cackle). Read on.
Pres Obama was desperate for 2009 incumbent Dem Gov Corzine to get reelected. Obama pulled out all the stops to demonstrate his and his crackerjack team's political prowess.
<><>Obama had his WH "geniuses" take full control of Corzine’s campaign.
<><>Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was there twice.
<><>Obama's pro-Corzio TV ads ran relentlessly on costly NY media.
<><>Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine.
<><> Obama's generous $17.2 billion "NJ stimulus" promptly vanished--hidden from media scrutiny.
================================================
The NY Times reported in exquisite detail:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obama’s WH “geniuses.”
(b) Corzine’s aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
(e) Wealthy Wall Street 1%'er Corzine spent hundreds of thousands of his own money buying elective office;
(f) secret strategy sessions were held to suckup the latino vote;
(g) a Peruvian PAC run by a NJ restauranteur endorsed Corzine (hyphenate dream about access to the state treasury);
(H) Corzio bragged he had 20,000 paid operatives (union members) on the ground election day, paid to get out the vote in heavily Democrat NJ.
CORZINE BANKRUPTED STATE EGENCIES T THE TUNE OFR BILLIONS---WHERE DIT IT GO? Ponzi king Bernie Madoff made a generous contribution to Corzine’s gubernatorial re/elect campaign......salivating about getting his greedy hands on all that state money. When he went to jail, investigators found Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.
Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America, ......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that.
To unsuspecting outsiders, this seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances....but the game was to direct money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny for fraud, money laundering and tax evasion.
====================================================
END GAME Corzine's NJ loss and VA win were the only two 2009 n'wide races held---and both elected Repubs.
Amazingly, the large bulk of the TV and radio advertising I've been hearing and seeing in the MSM has been Lonegan's. And it's real hard-hitting stuff. He doesn't shy away from saying that Booker would be a lackey for Obama and linking him to Obamacare. (A few years ago, the 'Rats would have denounced that as racist.) He also attacks Booker for his record in Newark, and calls him "liberal," "radical," and "extreme." For an East Coast Republican, this is quite remarkable!
When the appearance of Palin on behalf of Lonegan was announced, one MSM wag snidely ridiculed her by pointing out that in 2008, Palin got 40% of the state's vote running with McCain vs. Obama.
Would like to see a video of that debate. If anyone can post a link to it on the Net, I’d really appreciate it.
Funny how they always seem to find uncounted votes AFTER the polls close---usually stuffed in discarded pizza boxes.
Yet, the Corzine race surely utilized tried and true Chicago criminal politics tactics---revered by Obama and his crowd....to no avail. Plenty of dead people voting for Corzine to be sure.
The Obamanation's are prolly working feverishly behind the scenes for Booker.....can't let a black guy lose, can they?
NJ democrats (and RINOs) don’t need to import tactics from Chicago or anywhere else, they’re right up with the worst of the worst.
Lonegan is a conservative, disliked by the party bosses (Lard boy gave a lip service endorsement but that it's it).
I haven't been a huge fan of his but he seems to be doing a good job this time. Booker is just awful and has opened the door, it appears Lonegan does have a legit chance, but I wouldn't put money on it, not in NJ. It would be major, even though the seat is up for the full term next year.
Not *that* Bogota ....
====================================================
THIS JUST IN--A Medical Arts practice is coming to Newark----bringing in surgeons board certified in vaginal rejuvenations (aka "The Wrigley Procedure"--- doubles the pleasure, doubles the fun--lasts longer, too).
However vaginal rejuvenations come with a disclaimer---there's a slight chance that the unthinkable could happen when a vagina is rejuvenated (lined w/ guar gum). So doctors board certified in vaginal rejuvenations are also on board---trained in castration and penile extraction techniques.
Not to worry, Obamacare will cover all procedures.
" I know Cory is no fly-by-night guy. He and Obama are compassionate
Democrats, helping women make the right choices about their vaginas."
