Menendez, Kyrillos Lock Horns in Senate Race

The incumbent, Robert Menendez, is well financed and heavily favored over Republican State Senator Joseph Kyrillos.

U.S. Senate candidates Robert Menendez and Joe Kyrillos agree on little when it comes to the issues. The veterans of New Jersey politics are largely pushing party-line policy as voters take to the polls on election day. Menenedez, a native of Union City, has been the heavy early favorite over the state legislator. A recent Philadelphia Inquirer poll had Menendez up 50-32 over Kyrillos, in line with polls conducted by Richard Stockton College and Quinnipiac University. Kyrillos, echoing larger party sentiments, favors extending tax cuts for the "job creators" making large sums of money and also relaxing corporate taxes. It's a philosophy not shared by Menendez, who says New Jersey families have been "victimized" by corporate loopholes and …

I don't vote by party, so I don't vote in Primary elections, unless there is a COMPELLING reason to vote for a candidate. That compelling reason, sadly, is not something I see happening on the horizon. I'll always vote, just when the parties beat each other up and produce the most connected candidate to further their interests. I always vote because it's an American blessing. I just feel sad …   more ›

Column: There's an Election Coming. Really

Polls focus on November as most give challengers in the few primary contests little chance of victory.

Last week brought a number of polls affirming the fickle nature of New Jersey’s electorate and a reminder, despite any lack of enthusiasm, that there is an election in less than a month. Our votes don’t count again this year in presidential balloting as the primary was moved back to June—holding a separate president-only primary in February 2008 cost the state an extra $12 million.
