1. DAMN right!! nt

[njlib]

2. I'm ready

and so is my son. Last I heard, Booker's lead was only 10 points. I don't think I really believe that.

We're ready for next month, too. I heard parts of the Christie/Buono debate on the radio tonight. She's a tough debater!

3. Latest poll I saw say 14 points. Two links below

4. Posts like yours are one big reason I love DU

Now if only I was a NJ resident.

Go Jerseyites, show that Lonegan the door- again.

[dchill]

5. Kick!

And get up. Now.

[Cha]

6. Good Luck to Cory Booker in this odd Wed election day that

scaredypants Christy designated for him.

[chillfactor]

7. I do not live in New Jersey........

but I wish Booker and the state the best of luck!

[The Wizard]

8. Lonegan is very strange

If Lonegan wins all the normal people will be leaving NJ in droves. Say no to a fascist takeover, make Cory Booker NJ's United States Senator.

9. Not a chance he'll win but he needs to be beaten, smashed and thrown on the ash

heap.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

10. Get that Senate seat back, then vote that fat fuck Chris Krispy-Kreme out of office!

[BillyRibs]

11. I would have rather

Had My favorite Rocket scientist running, but I'll get off My fat Butt and get and out and vote like a good Tammany hall Democrat. Then in a couple of weeks I'll try to help Fire Gov. Fat Boy and his shine box!

12. K&R

Up and at 'em!!

13. The Tea Party faithful have been organizing like crazy.

I wish that the Booker campaign took this more seriously. Maybe there are GOTV efforts going on under my radar screen but as far as I know it sounds like they think they have it in the bag.

Hopefully the moderate Republicans (we have them in Jersey) will stay home.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. NJ isn't a teabagger state

But the main issue is that Christie purposely set this special election for this odd day.

IMHO, the biggest city in the state (Newark) will fill much of the voter gap given Booker is mayor there. Also, Booker has flooded the airwaves here in Philly with his ads (for the South Jersey audience in Camden, Princeton, Trenton, AC) and I don't recall ever seeing any Lonegan ads. Since Booker is a blue dog, he can appeal much better to the moderate rethugs than loons like Lonegan.

15. +1000

[JustAnotherGen]

16. Yep

Happened under your radar. We've had three stops (two in the primary) at our 'for now' place. Lots of Lonegan signs in Basking Ridge and Bedminster and Warren but you don't really see them outside of there. I think I've seen one Lonegan sign in Somerville and maybe 10 out in the town of Flemington - everything else is Booker in get this . . . Horse Country.

17. I'm down in Monmouth. Lots of Lonegan signs here & I even got robocalled by the Lonegan campeign.

Aside from Asbury, Long Branch, Red Bank and a few other communities it's pretty much GOP central. That being said, hopefully the sane Republicans will just be disgusted with Lonegan and stay home.

18. I was voter 35 in my district at 9 am

Turnout seems light compared with most elections. However, this district is heavily Republican, so maybe it is a good sign.

[Tx4obama]

19. What time do the polls close?

p.s. Happy to hear you voted today

[FarCenter]

20. 8 pm NJ time polls close

[Auntie Bush]

21. Matthews is going to be bummed his program won't be on when

the poles close and the results come in. Don't blame him. But maybe Up With Chris may have him on as a guest. I hope so, as I usually like his analysis.

[Tx4obama]

23. Thanks.

So, we have just a little over an hour

I'm ready!

[flamingdem]

[Tx4obama]
