Despite last-ditch efforts to try to reclaim his place in history, I think that's too little, too late. I think he'll be viewed as fair or mediocre. Harsher critics might even say poor. I think he'll become an answer to a trivia question at some point. As far as a lasting impact, I don't really see it. |
He may be the great hope for the Republican party for the foreseeable future. Obviously the biggest benefit he has is name recognition. |
It is surprising. Since Bush did not carry New Jersey in either election, you would think he would shy away from the state. A few of these folks are pretty conservative and that's not the reputation that New Jersey has. |
It seems as if the rhetoric is getting worse and worse. A lot of that has to do with the fact that there was no caps on spending. |
That would be nice. But I fear that these controversies have set the stage for each of these campaigns to just attack their opponents' character all the way until Election Day. |
The best chance Pallone had was in a three-way race. With Andrews out, it effectively is going to pave the way for Menendez. |
The only successful formula for a New Jersey Republican is to run a moderate campaign like Kean and Whitman. |
The question is, is he a skilled-enough politician to get his agenda through the Legislature? And when he talks about paying for his programs by growing the economy, it makes me leery; if there's a downturn, he's going to face some very difficult choices. |
Wow, that's wild, the message isn't getting across. |
