The FDU poll results would have been the same for Menendez vs. Matt Rooney or Menendez vs Brian McGovern. Neither Kyrillos or Little have enguoh statewide name regonition at this point to register above a generic Republican in a head to head with Menendez.Menendez is vulnerable. His numbers are weak. I would like to see FDU or Patrick Murray poll statewide for an unnamed Democrat vs. an unnamed Republican. I'd bet that the unnamed D outperforms Menendez's results from this poll.This will not be a Christie vs Lonegan type of primary. Little can't raise the kind of money Lonegan raised and there are no matching funds in a federal race.The veterans of Anna's Army have moved on, many under friendly fire, so she has to build a new organization. If she gets on the primary ballot, she won't get 20% of the vote and she won't raise more than $100K.The only people taking her seriously at this point are media types that don't know better.Anna should have kept her sites on Pallone in the 6th district. It's doubtful that Diane Gooch will run.
