I know it's a close and intresting race, but can we stop flooding the board with EVERY single peice of news that comes out of the NJ Senate Race? Could we possibly just start two new threads entitled "Kean is an asshole because..." and "Menendez is an asshole because..." and everyone can post their scandals and such in these?

I think a better title would be, "Conan, no matter how many stupid things you post Menendez is still more corrupt than Kean, only post if it actually has to deal w/corruption and not something made up or pointless"

Seriously, he's not gonna lose so I'm not worried, if the Foley scandal only makes the polls split temporarily and Menenedez only slightly ahead in some, he should win comfortably

His losing currently has nothing to do with the FOley scandal.

If you don't think that, then other explanation could you have?

"Menendez having more scandals emerging really helps him in the eyes of NJ voters"

His father is due out soon and that will make him ahead in every single poll guaranteed.

His last name already got him any Kean bump, besides we have Obama and Clinton.

I support the request. There is no need for ten different threads a day about NJ. Their Senate race is the PA 13 of 2006 with the only difference being that PA 13 didn't get a new thread everytime news came out (though some will argue it spread like wildfire to other threads Tongue ). The funny thing is that all this discussion settles around a race in which one of the candidates used to represent NJ's 13th Congressional district.

Adolf Hitler could have campaigned for Corzine (who had little corruption surrounding his name at the time) and beaten the NJ's GOP worst ever candidate Doug Forrester.  No matter what you think of them, Kean is 100X the candidate Forrester ever was.

Yea but of course you can blame the candidate once they lost.

Please don't tell me you really think Doug Forrester's candidacy could hold a candle to Kean's.  Forrester was an empty suit and one arrogant sob

Yea but all I am saying that its a little convenient to say that in hindsight. Corzine could have beaten just about anyone, he had the money, recognition, and base to do it.

Yeah, the same certainly cannot be said of Menendez, and he's facing a better candidate.  I do think that Corzine is in grave trouble

Current Prediction come early 2010:

NJ Gov: John Murphy (R)
Lt. Gov: Paul DiGaetano (R)
Sr. Sen: Tom Kean Jr. (R)
Jr. Sen: Chris Cristie (R)

That is true of Menendez but Corzine has tons of time to improve his perception. It is gonna be very exciting to have a Lt. Governor who runs for office. But if Kean wins now, you can bet that a Rep wont win in 08.  I doubt they'll win either.

Oh good christ. See what I mean? The bickering has even infested the thread in which was initially intended to slow it down. Before to long, this topic is going to need it's own sub section.
