2008 New Jersey Senate race with hindsight

[Suburbia]

Longtime New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg died in 2013 after serving in the U.S. from 1982 to 2001, when he initially retired, reluctantly. He came back in 2002 after corrupt Sen. Bob Torricelli was forced to retire, he won a second term in 2008 against moderate Republican Dick Zimmer.

Who would you have supported?

[Suburbia]

I'd vote Zimmer. Lautenberg was too old. Zimmer would have probably lost in 2014 because of the polarization trends in 2014, but he would be different. No Republican has won a Senate race in New Jersey since 1972, when moderate Republican Clifford Case won.....

NJ Dems should have chosen Frank Pallone in 2002 when Torricelli stepped down...

I'm surprised Lautenberg is leading here....he was too old...

[Suburbia]

Definitely Frank Lautenberg. The last time I would have voted for a Republican for Senate in New Jersey probably would have been 1982 or possibly 2000.

Why would you vote for the Republican in 1982 or 2000?

Jon Corzine was corrupt....

[Suburbia]

Still Zimmer.

He would not have died in office, and he would have DOA in 2014 regardless of a GOP wave, Booker or Pallone would have beaten him.

Dianne Feinstein shows you what happens when you have senators of old age there too long.....she should retire right now and let Gov. Newsom appoint London Breed to the position.
