The New York Times has endorsed Cory Booker over Rush Holt, Frank Pallone, and Sheila Oliver in the Democratic primary to replace Frank Lautenberg in the Senate. I’m kind of glad I don’t live in New Jersey anymore because I can’t decide who I want to win this race. My first instinct is to support Rush Holt because he comes closest to my worldview. But Pallone isn’t too far off and probably has a better chance to win. And Booker brings a much-needed perspective, as the Times points out. I don’t know much about Ms. Oliver, but I’ve heard positive things. I wish we could bring this level of talent to all our campaigns. I mean, Terry McAuliffe? Seriously?
Tough to Pick in New Jersey
