As we previously reported, Save Jerseyans, Vice President Joe Biden is in New Jersey tonight for a Bob Menendez fundraiser. Yawn.
His opponent in the race for U.S. Senate, Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), isn’t sitting idly by. He recently hauled in several hundred thousand at a Christie-headlined fundraiser.

BTW- The latest polling shows Menendez up 10-points over Kyrillos, 43% to 33%; more interestingly, Menendez LOSES in the same poll to an unnamed opponent. I’ve been saying for months that this is the Republican campaign’s double edged sword, Save Jerseyans.

This November could be a Scott Brown moment for New Jersey, with Menendez the incumbant not even close to a majority and only 10% above a no-name Republican.
