NJ-Sen: Kean up by 7%.

[Adlai Stevenson]

But was Menendez that bad?  He is certainly a competent parliamentarian and legislator and deserves a chance.  I admit that I'm horrified by the thought that the GOP could wind up winning a Senate seat on election night, but Kean is certainly an excellent candidate for them; only Codey could have guaranteed this as a lock election for us.  I think that the Republicans have been edging in New Jersey for years now.  There hasn't been a GOP Senator in the Garden State since 1972, but they've come awfully close in some years.  Now I feel that New Jersey voters are rightly fed up of Democratic corruption, as well as the Republicans having the added bonus of a canidate synomynous with a period relative prosperity and honesty in the state - most people look back on Tom Kean, Sr.'s governorship fondly.

I am annoyed at Corzine's decision to run for Governor; was it the embarrasment of his losses as DSCC chairman?  I wish he had lost for Governor now or that Codey had run and won.  Would Kean have run against Corzine and would he have been as effective?
