Golly gee, it might have helped if the two elections WERE ON THE SAME DAY, GOVERNOR!! But you want your pal Booker to win while you get a sweeping reelection.
I advise every conservative in New Jersey to come out in October and vote for Lonegan but stay home on election day in November (or leave the governor’s slot blank on your ballot). If Christie wants to be reelected, let him get the votes of the democrats and moderate republicans he loves so much.
The 'rats need to double up on their GOTV effort, which will cost them twice as much. There is no extra cost for the Republicans. In New Jersey, Republicans go to the polls voluntarily, without being dragged there.
If there were ever a chance that a true conservative would win a US Senate election in New Jersey, it's a special election on a Wednesday in October. Something which has never been done before. If Steve Lonegan can't win this, there will never be a conservative Republican elected to the US Senate from New Jersey.
