This will damage Booker for sure... instead of winning by 35 pts, his margin of victory will drop all the way down to 30.

He only won by 11 last time. He is not invulnerable, and certainly not a lock to win by 2 to 3 dozen percentage points. It all depends on whether the Republican nominee is "unelectable" (by GOPe standards), in which case it could be close, or "electable" (by GOPe standards), in which case Booker will cruise. But if the GOPe joins with the Democrats in attacking the Republican nominee (which they usually do when their chosen candidate fails in the primary), then Booker will cruise, regardless.

“Lonegan ran a pugnacious campaign, attacking Bookers stewardship of Newark directly while Booker put forth a lackluster effort noted more for the time he spent out of state fundraising than the time he spent in state campaigning.”
You’re right; when you cut through the spin, Booker won without even really campaigning. He is NJ’s Obama (though he has more experience than Obama), and oddly enough was viewed as the “white” candidate when he unseated Sharpe James (the previous king of Newark).
If ObamaCare and the economy in general can’t deliver these mid-terms to the Republicans, they may as well close up shop. NJ is in terrible shape economically, and the lies of Booker’s accomplishments in Newark (where most taxpayers would never verify them) won’t fly over the state as a whole.
