Despite a competitive and sometimes nasty primary fight, U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg seems to have had little trouble uniting the Democratic Party behind his re-election campaign. There are no real signs that party leaders who backed Rob Andrews for the nomination are denying any support to the four-term Senator, and a poll released today by Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey shows Democratic voters solidly behind the Lautenberg. The Republican candidate, former Rep. Dick Zimmer, seems to be having a little trouble getting the GOP behind his candidacy after defeating conservative State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio and Ron Paul supporter Murray Sabrin in his primary. The poll shows that Zimmer, with 64% of the GOP vote, has not yet closed the deal on his own party.

While
I can't stand how the party treated Joe and Murray, I'm still voting for Zimmer simply because he would represent my interests 100% more than Fossil Frank. I wish the rest of my GOP brethren would bite the bullet and just come out and support Zimmer. We are killing ourselves here. Frank is clearly vulnerable!
Unbelievable, Democrats are united behind Lautenberg!
It must be slow day for Wally today.
