People are so "scared" of republicans it is sad...Corzine will win just for simply having a (D) after his name. Parties mean nothing....recent Republican leadership has destroyed the party and people read into that as "well, obviously the Democrats are better" regardless of who the Dem candidate is...we are already seeing it with Lautenberg.
It is distressing that the best candidates in the 2008 election may not win because of the current Administration in Washington. An administration who has enacted many unrepublican-like policies.
Location: When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic

May be there is hope for Republicans - check it out the latest Poll from Rasmussen senate race in Jersey Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

I also think McCain has a shot here if he plays his cards right. He can use the financial distress this state is under to get some of the blue collar vote.

Thanks for sharing that...its at least slightly encouraging...not a HUGE fan of Zimmer, but totally a much better choice.

Senator Robert Memendez is also a Corzine hand picked crook.
Dont bet on Zimmer. The NJEA and others will spend whatever it takes to make sure it does not happen.
Its a disgrace that Unions like the NJEA are so thickheaded they would bend over back wards for a Senator who is the epitome of old school politicians. Then they will be total hypocrites and back Obama for "Change".
I remember being in the eighth grade and having an argument with my English teacher over Bush I and Dukakis. They back the Democrat without any further thought.
