Rick Perry is in New Jersey to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Steve Lonegan.
Which means, for the moment, Lonegan is still the craziest politician in the State... but he's no longer the dumbest.
It won't matter: Democratic nominee Cory Booker will win in a landslide. And he would have even if Lonegan were sane.
However, I am a bit disappointed in Booker. I wanted him to run for Governor. Instead, Barbara Buono, who is (at least for the next 3 months) my State Senator, is unlikely to come close to beating Jabba the Guv.
This is mainly because the President of the State Senate, Steve Sweeney, is more interested in protecting his own job than in knocking Christie out of his, and he's too chicken to take him on even though he's got Democratic majorities in both houses of the legislature, and that this is likely to remain so for years to come. Sweeney figures, if he can keep the State's big Dems quiet, Christie will appreciate this, and cut him some slack, and, come 2017, with a Democrat (possibly Sweeney himself) running against a Republican who doesn't have Christie's populist personality, the Christie era will prove to be a big fat anomaly. and normal service will be resumed in January 2018.
