Ever the optimist aren’t you. Our guy lost by 10 in a general election held on a Wednesday in October. What it tells me is that in a low turnout election, our best scenario, we depressingly still lost by 10. Believe me it would have been our worst showing in these parts if this was held on a first Tuesday in November. The only thing proved is that our candidate tonight will never ever win this office, so next.
Before you come to final judgemen, mu friend....please take a gander at the article on “National Review’s website regarding this election!!! I think you might change your mind!!! Steve Lonegan made the best showing of any Republican in the last 12 years lastnight....this without one iota of support or moneu from the “establishment” Republicans and just lukewarm su[pport from governor Chris Christie!!! IMHO....Mr. Lonegan should try again next year. he deserves another shot!!! Believe me....he has surprised the political world!!!
I don’t agree. Booker had the money, the name recognition and the party behind him. If Christie and any of the Republican elites, had supported him, it would have been much closer. He should run again in 2 years and maybe the national tide will have turned a bit by then with the impending disasters ahead for the country.
Steve ran a good race. He got out the conservative base like no Republican has before him in national races.
Here in Hunterdon it was hard to find a parking space to vote yesterday.
