Looks like a deadheat for Senate in NJ. Menendez and Kean are
battling for the seat Menendez was supposed to win with ease:
It wasn't supposed to be this hard for Democrat Robert Menendez.New
Jersey's political history, campaign cash and national dissatisfaction
with the Republican-led Congress are all in his favor as he tries to
win the Senate seat he took by appointment from the governor in January.
But here he is, locked in an apparent dead heat with Republican
challenger Tom Kean Jr., and having to campaign in unlikely places such
as a seafood festival down a gravel road in southern rural New Jersey,
far from his base in the urban north.
