This would be a difficult election to vote in because I actually like both candidates. Rare that something like that happens.
That's my problem, too. I'm undecided right now. I may support Christie.I wouldn't be so pessimistic about Booker's chances.
1. NJ is a clearly Democratic leaning state.
2. NJ Democrats have picked consistently poor quality candidates and won anyway.
3. Christie received only 48% of the vote against Jon Corzine.
4. Cory Booker is an extremely talented candidate, who can raise a ton of money.
5. A lot can happen between now and November 2013.
1. Christie's approval rating is around 55%
1. Scott Brown's approval was over 60%. So was Chaffee's.
The major difference: New Jersey actually has a solid, reliable GOP base around 40%.
