As I have said for a while now - it's a month out - and the undecideds are WAY too high.

He needs more attack ads. Big and good ones.

You know i did have a thread on this? Its fine though.... must be buried.

Yea, I noticed after for a few of them. Your titles were different then the other ones. Sorry.

[poughies]

its fine.... the problem was that i was trying to get all of them up very quickly last night..... So the titles aren't as good as they should be.

High Undecideds are beneficial to Democrats in NJ, more so even than in most blue states. In 2005, Undecideds broke more than 4-1 for Corzine.

Oh, I know that, but it just makes it hard to be concrete (as possible that is).

Rush Holt, Codey, and Rob Andrews are scandel free so they cannot be senators.  Menedez, (I forget the name of Menedez's succeor) and Pascall are corrupt so they are happy.  Payne and Rothmen do not critize the mechice so they get a bone every now and then.  Pallone is anti-semetic ("There are too many Crist killing Jews in city hall").   Thomas Kean JR. will lose because he stturs and has an R next to his name.  WHAT IS WITH THIS STATE?

[poughies]

i'm guessing that we will all be looking back on two weeks ago when it looked like Kean might do it and go.... what were we thinking? And yes that quote may come back to haunt me....

Pascrell is corrupt? Never heard that before. Forgot about that quote but, he said that around his Jewish friends when he was a councilman I believe as a joke. They have backed him up on it.

[bullmoose88]

still time in this race, but as usual the advantage is to the dems.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Pascall was involved in some things eariler on, most of these things don't happen when they are in congress (though he is nowhere near as bad as Menendez or Albio Sores)

Why is Albio Sires corrupt? Because he is hispanic and comes from Hudson County? There hasnt been any media attention towards him? No ones alleged hes corrupt.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Sorry, I got Sires confused with another guy in the assembely, my bad!!  He falls in the Rothman, Payne, Luatenburg catagory who pretend there is no Dem. corruption in NJ.  I did not know Sires was hispanic, by the way.

He looks Italian, a white hispanic with a non hispanic last name. Anyway, I wouldnt say those other guys pretend there is no Dem corruption in NJ, just that they acknowledge some Dems play part in corruption but that there are corrupt republicans too. Why would one of them say this anyway, "Oh yea us Dems are corrupt here in NJ." It's just stupid to say something like that.

[MAS117]

Sires was born in Cuba. He is a nice guy, I've met him before.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Rothmen, Payne, Sires, and Lutenburg act like it is  ONLY the Republicans instead of biapartisan corruption.

[Conan]

I have never seen a quote from Sires and I live in NJ, so I dont know where your getting this.  Nor have I seen anything from the others suggesting the same.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

So your saying they have never critsized the New Jersey Republicans for corruption. 

[Conan]

So your saying they have never critsized the New Jersey Republicans for corruption. 

No they have probably done so, because yes there are some. But you are suggesting because they dont openly say dems are corrupt too, that they dont recognize the fact.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

But couldn't they say there is corruption on both sides publicly.

I am not saying that Sores, Payne, Lutenburg, or Rothmen are corrupt.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

That is true.

Just goes to prove than anyone can buy an election if they outspend their opponent 10/1 and run what was, at the time, by far, the most expensive Senate election campaign in US history.

Just goes to prove than anyone can buy an election if they outspend their opponent 10/1 and run what was, at the time, by far, the most expensive Senate election campaign in US history.

That poll was taken in November. There was no time for Corzine to suddenly spend massive amounts of money to win.

The actual result, for those who don't know, was:
Corzine (D): 50%
Franks (R): 47%

That shows how strongly Undecideds break Dem in NJ (7-2, in this example).

Also right before that poll was a series of polls that reflected this race.
