I hope that Lautenberg wins, because Robert Andrews is a real faux Democrat, but it was forseeable that Lautenberg’s age would be an issue on this. He’s 84 years old.
Why the cleared the field for him, leaving only a right wing puke who aggressively lobbied for votes for every Bush war resolution, voted on behalf of big pharma, against unions in trade deals, for “defense contractor sweetheart deals for retiring military officers”, and against rolling back the Bush tax cuts. (see here)
Lautenberg is a bit too old for the Senate, and Andrews is way too evil for the Senate.
Lovely choice for NJ Dems today.
Rasmussen has Lautenberg with a significant lead, but still under 50%, which is worrying.
