Looks like the Dems want to have gun friendly Rep Scott Garrett duke it out with gun hating Dem Steve Rothman.

I am sure Krispy Creme will do the wrong thing in showing his support. And the Democrats certainly will do the wrong thing. The good thing is that Garrett is a really good guy and has a lot of support from his constituency.

Garrett is my rep and he's a staunch conservative. If Garrett is out, I am going to be super pissed off. Rothman is an aszhole.

I met Scott Garret at a function not too long ago. He is just a NICE guy...he represents my area very well. I will be volunteering to help his campaign when it comes time.

I am sure others will have a more detailed listing of population density....but is it possible to think that Rothman's districts can outweigh and surpass, in both pure votingpower Garret's, even if Garret has a solid base??..........if I read it right Roithman has some very dense and democratic districts....

Interesting.

 

But the truth is that Rothman has never had any real challenger, and no Dem will primary him. So voting day with him as my rep is a total joke.

If we lose Scott Garret, we're in trouble up here. He's very pro-SA and cosponsored HR 822.

Most likely Rothman will drop out, he is not going to lose a race to Garrett. Garrett wins single handedly as the whole district was custom made for him. My crystal ball tells me Rothman will do something different, from being a political hack. In october Hackensack has its street fair, I never miss the chance to say hello to Rothman and asking him when he is going to stop being a gun hater, and when he will get a real job. He mostly smiles and last year he told me 'we just are not going to agree'...he was correct.

Rothman walking away?

i got moved out of garrett's district.

Rothman's not going anywhere. He'll be our next Senator, whether we like it or not.

Lautenberg will die in his sleep two days before the election and the NJ supreme court will put Rothman on the ballot. After that, it's "vote early and often."

Looks like Rothman is going to challenge Pascrell in a Dem primary battle. Garrett is safe, but I'm not sure who will come on top between Rothman and Pascrell.

Please keep it without insulting comments like that. =)

Pascrell is old and in the way, so Rothman will come out on top, but with regards to the 2A issue, it's a big fat ZERO. Nothing gained, nothing lost, except one less anti gun vote.
