This is pretty much what happened with him in 2006. Is this other guy a moderate like Kean or a conservative like Christie?

He is supposedly a moderate. In his ads, Hugin doesn't even mention that he's a Republican. Either way though, Menendez will be fine and I am so glad that this poll has come out to temper the panic and corroborate what I have been saying since Menendez decided to run for re-election.

Now can we all shut up about this fantasy that NJ-Sen will go Republican in a Democratic-leaning environment ever?

Or that NJ voters care about corruption, for that matter?

Menendez is corrupt, but Hugin isn't exactly an altarboy. His company committed fraud to promote  drugs for non-approved reasons (and paid a $280M fine). They also did tax frauds and unconscionable price raises though that seems to be par for pharmaceuticals, just as graft is par for NJ politicians.

I would still worry if I were a D. Hugin has been carpetbombing the NYC TV stations with ads for at least a month (on late night TV at least), and I find his ads to be quite effective. I've yet to see a Menendez ad.



I've noticed the reverse to be true lately. A lot more pro-Menendez/anti-Hugin ads have been airing emphasizing his shady business practices and likelihood of enabling Trump's agenda. This tells me that perhaps Hugin pulled a Rick Scott and invested in his TV ads a bit too early. Menendez was always going to win, but now he can have mobilized Democratic voters turn out instead of reluctant ones.
