Up with Steve Kornacki led with concerns the Booker's lead is evaporating. Liberal_Stalwart71 Oct 2013 #3
Kornacki is an idiot. Mass Oct 2013 #5
Interesting. He's talking about Brown running in NH also. Speculation. Liberal_Stalwart71 Oct 2013 #6

Same guy who posted that Scott Brown was unbeatable and so on. Lonegan got some of the undecided as he became known. That is all.

here are all the polls. With a couple of exception, Booker has been stable.

Also speculating about Liz Warren though I thought she said she wasn't interested in running for president. Thanks for easing my nerves.

Was that Booker would win. One poll showed NJ voters concern that Booker was going too Hollywood and wasn't concerned enough with their state. Still, versus Lonergon, though was Booker will win on October 16th.

which is the NPR station out of Philadelphia that I can hear sometimes when the weather is fine and Jupiter aligns with Mars (I'm way, way north of Philadelphia). The program guests discussed this very issue and concluded that at least one of the reasons is that New Jersey residents don't yet realize how very right-wing the Republican is. I was driving around doing errands so I didn't hear the whole thing, but you can listen yourself:
