I’m still supporting Lonegan in this race. He did win this district in his Senate race. McArthur just strikes me as another establishment-backed hack, and NJ is full of those. This is Lonegan’s one last shot, and I think he deserves it.
Against Booker, yes. Booker was making a fool out of himself, I would have been surprised if he had carried the 3rd, a district more Republican than the state (one GOP county and one rat county that’s not as large). But he’d be running against a local rat this time, Burlington County Freeholder Aimee Belgard.
I have to agree to disagree. I just plain don’t think his alleged conservatism compared to McArthur (if he even is more conservative which I am not certain of) is worth what I believe is the serious electoral risk in nominating a perennial candidate that’s not very likable.
We already have 2 seats probably circling the drain (CA-31, which will be lost for the duration of it’s current existence, and NY-11, which if lost we should be able to take back in 2016, but it wouldn’t be a gimme).
