NJ Senate Newspaper Endorsements

[DownWithTheLeft]

Bergen Record should go Kean, I would be surprised if they didn't, but newspaper endorsements mean next to nothing

Bergen County is the key county in this race. If Kean wins Bergen, he has a strong chance of winning the state.

Whether or not Kean wins the state (he should) he will, just as John Murphy did, carry Bergen County.  Any Republican taking at least 45-47% of the vote (which even Conan will acknowledge Kean will take) should take Bergen county.

The Record endorsed Republican Todd Caliguire for County Exec, I wonder if this is any indication, but my paper has not arrived yet today, though my dad told me when he went to get something Kean and Menendez are on the front and it says something like "tough choice"

[DownWithTheLeft]

The Record has endorsed Menendez if you wanna call it that,

there endorsement basically said both guys suck but Kean has defined himself and that Menendez is there choice while holding their noise.  It also is like a one paragraph endorsement tucked away in the opinion section

Let's also remember there last few endorsements have all lost, and I'm talking both parties

Again, newspaper endorsement have had little effect on NJ races in the past

And you know this how? In such a close election where people dont know who to trust according to everything I have seen, a newspaper might look like something that could build confidence.

It worked so well for Forrester and Franks who had the endorsements of all the papers you have mentioned, and the Record endorsement just made people want to sit home, you should actually read it rather than blanketly saying they endorsed him

Big difference between nose-pinching endorsement and ringing endorsement

I cant even find the Records full endorsement. I read some excerpts in another article. Forrester and Franks didnt get all the endorsements. As I recall, Corzine got most of them for Governors race.

I was referring to the Senate race, but read the Record and then tell me if they have full support for Menendez or oh damn we have to pick someone

[DownWithTheLeft]

Why does the Record have more influence than the NY Post?  That flat out doesn't make sense

[DownWithTheLeft]

I noticed you did not put "comes w/baggage" in the bold

I was going to but they still said that he is still the better choice.  You can highlite what is better for Kean in there if you want.

All I'm saying is it's not a ringing endorsement, it's a lukewarm hold-your-nose one
