1. New Jersey isn't New England...

but I voted for Corzine anyway

[NNadir]

2. New Jersey isn't New England, but I voted for Frank Lautenberg.

I think the country is well served by the Democratic Senators who are senior citizens. They don't give a rat's ass about being re-elected and say exactly what they think.

Nothing as spoken quite so well of Robert Byrd's career as the stellar way he is ending it. The same goes for Frank, who saved the Democratic Party in New Jersey from the Torrecelli mess.

3. it's sort of New England

I guess the upper 3/4 can be considered New England.....

[cprise]

4. No way

It doesn't even touch.

5. Have Lived in PA and Maine

There is NO way that NJ is in any way shape or form a New England state. This is not meant as any kind of a put down of NJ, it's just that it's a mid-atlantic atate!

6. I know it's not part of New England

But New Jersey has such great senators I had to include them here. Frank Lautenberg is my choice.

7. Do we need a lesson in politics or geography?

Chaffee backed the filibuster when Jeffords did not, but does this make all Duers who like them freepers? :shrug:

One more thing, Tharesa don't believe N.J. counts as New England state...unless you wish to include Pennsylvania and New York as well!

10. There are a lot of great senators in New England

[JohnKleeb]

9. Gonna go with my future employer Mr. Kennedy

I am planning to intern for him next year actually.

11. Lautenberg

He is a fantastic senator. I generally prefer him to Corzine but both are very good. I do have a problem that both self-finance their campaigns. That is just undemocratic and I wish they didn't.

I know others have said it but New Jersey is certainly not New England.
