The Associated Press has declared Newark Mayor Cory Booker the winner in Wednesday's special U.S. Senate election.

Booker defeated former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan, a Tea Party Republican, to serve out the remainder of the late Frank Lautenberg’s term.

Although the race was close early on, Democrats were quick to declare Booker the winner. Only 40 minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m., the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was declaring victory. A short time later, state Sen. Barbara Buono, who is running against Governor Christie in the Nov. 5 election, offered her congratulations to Booker.

We don’t need to be degraded. There are many of us who did our part.

I know, but I used to use that saying about Lautenberg. It’s not funny anymore now that he’s really dead, so I needed somebody new.

“How did Snooki vote? Inquiring minds and all that jazz....”

Why do people think that group is from NJ? Just because it was FILMED in NJ? That entire cast is from New York. Now you know.

The New Jersey cesspool provides us with another floater....Dead people and illegals always vote Dem, it was in the bag for Booker before the votes were even counted.

The Mafia can't let a Republican get in there, they need a RAT.

I’m sure there are. I was referring to the brain dead who voted for Booker. Kudoes to those who did not.

Unless something is done about the whored-out government propagandist media, we can expect every election to result in failure for our side from here on out, thru 2014 and beyond. I thought Booker’s residency wasn’t legit? Where was the media?
