re: #61 Patricia Kayden

The race is that close? Wow. Would have thought Booker would blow it out.

To be honest with you, at least in South Jersey, it’s been kind of quiet. I haven’t seen that many lawn signs out. Only one Lonegan sign I can think of.

I think part of the problem is that Booker hasn’t blown everyone away down here, like Christie did. They’re both North Jersey guys. In a lot of ways, we function as two separate states. Lonegan was unheard of down here, and Booker is “that guy who runs Newark.”

I’d like to think that enough voters will see Lonegan for the Tea Bagger he is, but I know teachers who love Christie. This is despite that fact that the Gov has vowed to make their lives harder by crushing the unions.
