Kean Is Klobbering Menendez
Dem interum Sen Menendez is the quasi-incumbent in this year’s NJ Senate race, and he is getting clobbered by is Rep challenger Kean. Menendez looks as bad as Santorum now that he is polling under 40% – a sign of sure defeat in a race of this nature:
Menendez now trails Republican challenger Thomas H. Kean Jr. by six percentage points among likely voters, a new Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey newspaper poll shows.
Kean was supported by 44 percent of likely voters, compared with 38 percent for Menendez. Fourteen percent said they were undecided, and 3 percent backed another candidate, according to the poll.
While we still have over a month left in the election cycle, and anything could happen, as things look today Menendez is going to lose this race.
Time for a call to the Democratic bullpen:
What’s Bill Bradley doing these days?
Patch,
That is not funny, because it is not improbable. The Demos in NJ are a machine, and Bradley may be a part of it.
I’ll never forget the presser in which “The Torch” quit the race. They had to have already counted the votes in the NJ Supreme Court to pull such an maneuver. Anything is possible with these guys.
