That might be because there are stupid democrat party leaders supporting Christy for reelection http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/05/nj_politics_roundup_buonos_mon.html#incart_flyout_politics

(11,464 posts)and there are major congresspeople who could be beaten including Freylinghausen in his weirdly shaped major district. He has been there decades.
but it takes a good challenger and then everyone voting against him.
Even if Christie wins, the other republicans can be beaten.

(11,464 posts)what worries me is the Memorial Day weekend iconic picture (and continuing throughout the summer) of Christie on the Jersey Shore, reopened and fixed after Sandy.
Especially if he gets pix with Bruce Springsteen and The President.
What worries me is the MASS. special senate election coming shortly, Markey is not a good campaigner statewide.

If it's close or Buono wins - it's because we just go and vote and let the chips fall where they may. Just vote - and don't worry about the mountain that has to be climbed for Buono to win.

So if you want to make a difference, donate to Barbara Buono's campaign.
