Is it certain Romney must win in NJ for this Senate pick up?
Romney doesn’t have to win New Jersey, but he has to make a credible showing. It appears that Menendez has image problems of his own which he hasn’t been able to fix.
Romney is unlikely to win NJ even if he pick CC as VP.
But no, unless Obama wins big it won’t matter. Menendez is weaker than Obama. Win or lose Kyrillos is likely to run ahead of Romney. What he needs is $$$$$$, very very expensive state. TV ads in NY and Philly media markets.
