Republican Response
For Tom Kean to be even in the polls with appointed US Senator Menendez nine months out from Election Day proves his electability and great strength as a candidate.
The upcoming New Jersey state budget fiasco isn't so much about Governor Corzine trying to fix the state budget mess as much as it's about his trying not to blow the upcoming election for the man he appointed to the U.S. Senate seat.
