Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I really, really hope that this doesn't siphon enough votes from Andy Kim in the general election to let the GOP candidate squeak by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only reason he would run as an independent. He isn't a republican so running with a federal indictment isn't feasible as a result he must punish the democrats for being less corrupt (currently).

I personally don’t know anyone in NJ who actually likes Menendez as much as they don’t want a republican. I assume if Andy Kim is on there under the D flag the amount of votes Menendez siphons off will be negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Polling with a 3-way race shows Menendez at 7 percent, and he has massive name recognition, so I feel his base is quite limited. Democrats typically win by double digits in the Senate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget the people HATED Corzine and that Christie is not exactly a hardline conservative and is basically a pariah from his own party now.
