Can't copy and paste on my iPad - but read it in the Courier while I was at my Doctor's office this afternoon. I'm enjoying that he's getting the attention as the "litmus test" and not Guv'nah Doughboy.

In 2009 all we heard in NJ was how Doughboy getting elected was a repudiation of President Obama. I can't wait until I can gloat tomorrow evening!

1. The RW media would sure spin it that way if Lonegan won.

But if Booker wins, it's just more of the relentless Obama/Acorn voter fraud machine.

2. The special election is WEDNESDAY

LOL and today is Tuesday.
For some reason I was thinking today was Monday

20. Columbus day threw you off.

Me too.

3. Lonegan said on TV yesterday it is a refurendum on the healthcare law.

He is going to loose so hopefully the media remembers what he says when he looses.

4. I'm glad someone has written about this. As I watched the numbers just over the past 2 weeks

they seemed to ebb and flow with the current maelstrom, it seemed that way. And who better than Corey Booker to keep it in the public eye moving forward.

5. Poll numbers on the link below

Lookin' good

6. Well shit. When Lonegan wins, he's gonna end Obamacare

He said so.

7. Interesting figures...contributions sure were lopsided. Any thoughts?

[Tx4obama]

8. Contributions? Huh?

Not sure what your question is.

[libdem4life]

9. It listed who and how much contributed to each candidate...almost all for Booker.

Thought maybe Lonegan was just a place holder...not knowing much about NJ politics. In any case, it sure got a lot of welcome press.

[Tx4obama]

10. Ah, okay. That part was up above the polling section - I hadn't noticed those numbers

[JustAnotherGen]

12. We maxed out for Booker

Note - not my choice in the primary - I was solid for Pallone with a touch of maybe I 'might' vote for Holt. But at the end of the day - we don't want Lonegan in the Senate. My husband owns several small businesses and the TEA Party is 100% against the small upstart business owners.

[libdem4life]

18. There goes another meme...TP for small business. Not. Along with the Rs for big business. Not.

at least if they don't listen to the C of C and Wall Street and the Koch Brothers along with other business groups. It gets more bizarre by the minute.

13. A mid October off off year election held on a Wednesday

I would say that the playing field for this so called National Referendum is as slanted toward the far right as possible heading into the match - turn out will be a small fraction of normal and their zealots always vote.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. I view it as

Slanting things towards Christie's way next month . . . the left in NJ is coming out today - come hell or high water. Long line this morning . . .

He was too chicken to go up against the folks coming out for Booker AND for a raise of the minimum wage.

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. Great about the turn out! And no doubt you are right about Chrisie n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

17. Still very depressed about NJ Democrats supporting Christie. I simply don't understand.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. It's the machine L.S.

It's the machine.

And the kickbacks. . .

21. As long as Booker wins, at least we got one.

16. I've lost track of days. I'm a federal employee and thought yesterday was Wednesday. :(
