Rob Andrews, a ten-term Congressman from Camden County, will challenge incumbent Frank Lautenberg in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Andrews, 50, said on Monday that he was considering a campaign against the 84-year-old four-term Senator.
Burlington County Democratic Chairman Rick Perr confirmed Andrews's intentions.
"I think this is a great thing for New Jersey Democrats up and down the state," said Perr. "Rob Andrews is an extremely qualified candidate for the United States Senate and presents our best opportunity to beat the Republican in November on a statewide level and down-ballot.”

...how does a guy with no name recognition and a 35 point deficit think he's going to beat Lautenberg??? Oh, and he has no support from any of his Congressional colleagues. And bonus: none of the will run on the same line as him.
Lautenberg > Andrews
I thought it was pretty foolish for him to jump in, too. He's almost certainly going to lose. At least he's got Adubato with him! He can go out swinging... literally.
I wonder
who SJ Dems will replace Andrews with for Congress. Otherwise they will nominate Ibn-Ayzad (yikes!).
