Democrats Line Up for Senate Special Election #NJSEN
At least two Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey are likely to run in the special election to fill the remaining term of the late Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J.

No one has officially entered the race yet; Lautenberg’s funeral was held Wednesday and he’ll be buried on Friday. But the Monday deadline to file petitions to make it onto the Aug. 13 primary ballot is forcing potential candidates to move quickly behind the scenes.

The GOP field remains murky, but the Democratic field is shaping up to include Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Reps. Frank Pallone Jr. and Rush D. Holt.

OK, so now we have to put up with this guy who we’ve had to put up with every time there’s a damn election; he never wins but he never seems to get another job. This is infuriating on so many levels.

Lautenberg’s term would have been over in 2014.

Why couldn’t Christie have appointed someone until the election in 2014? That’s what Corzine did when he appointed Menendez to fill his old Senate seat.

And if he was bold, he could have appointed Lonegan to that position.

I really like Lonegan..however, instead of “regalvanizing” the GOP..maybe we should work to “Reaganize” it instead..

Krispy Kreme sh7ts the bed again.

This guy has as much chance of beating Booker as Whorealdo. Might divert some money though.

I hear Lonegan’s ads occasionally, agree with him so far as I remember. I think the ads are easily understood.
