I've heard some rumblings of Sherrill making run for Governor and I think Gottheimer would lose that fight against her. He's a fundraising machine, but Sherrill is no slouch and is much more well liked compared to Gottheimer.

Gottheimer still has a better chance at Governor than Senator, but he’s far too moderate to win a statewide primary.

Isn't Murphy also pretty moderate?

He's very much a mainstream Democrat.

Gottheimer could easily win a statewide primary over Sherrill, who has limited outreach outside her district counties (in which the major primary vote base, Newark, is famously pathetic at turning out). He could probably primary Menendez tomorrow if he chose but it would leave too many scars. His interest is probably in a committee chairmanship.

Gottheimer is waaaay more limited in his reach outside of his district than Sherrill is.
