I anticipate that this race is going to be much closer than the polls indicate. Anyone on the ground know how the turnout is in places like Newark?

Clearly, a great many Americans love their communists.

Uh... sorry... I meant to say, “...love their Democrats.”

Never mind; it’s the same thing.

Sad to say, but it is a foregone conclusion that Lonegan will lose big - it is pretty obvious he couldn't close the gap. He never got closer than 10 points.

Turnout in Newark will be fine, dead or alive, citizen or non-citizen.

The only way Lonegan wins is if fires break out across Newark in all the warehouses containing pre-recorded votes for Booker

Let’s wait and see. Wednesday is not a normal election day and Booker hasn’t been spending a lot of money on this race. I figure he thinks he has it in the bag which it very well may be.

That is an idea! lol The unfortunate thing is these kind of off year special election races should be great wins for GOP. We know turnout is going to be down especially in Democrat strongholds so its a matter of investing in getting people to the polls. Lonegan appears to have invested heavily in that. Lets hope it pays off.

Brietbart says that the turn out has been lighter in GOP areas. So much for miracle if that is true. Lonegan just might be our man if Scott Garrett retires. He is definitely a game fighter.

Lonegan has no chance at all. This is New Jersey we are talking about here. Though completely unaccomplished, Booker is a media celebrity and will win easily.

The Obamaphones have no doubt been ringing off the hook today.

I was just reading a story that said as much. If so the GOP are just lazy bastards but then again they voted for Chris Cristie who is all about him winning.

If he loses by single digits that would be a great accomplishment considering the NJ electorate.

I like Lonegan but he has a snow ball’s chance of survival in the Texas Summer.

Early reports say turnout in republican districts is light with turnout in dem districts steady. Don’t get your hopes up. It’s going to be Booker in a cakewalk.

It might be possible to miraculously close a 2 point gap, but not a 12 point gap.

Polls close at 8 PM so we’ll begin to hear reports before long. If the voting has been
sparse then the results should be known early. Voting by mail could be a mixer if
the numbers are sufficient.

Only a democrat can close a 12 point gap.
