Quite possible that Democrat Bill Pascrell might toss his hat in the ring for next year's NJ Governor race.

 

He's never met an anti gun bill he didn't like.

I don't think it matters who is running if they are going up against Christie. Unless Christie commits a faux pas between now and then he appears to be a lock.

I'm sure the Dem's know that, but they're probably gonna try and groom somebody for 2017.

Pascrell would never carry the S. Jersey Dem vote, he is too much a N NJ old time crook. IIRC, he had 3 gov't offices he was holding at the same time at some point. He learned his trade from Francis X. Graves, who was also mayor of Paterson & congressman & Assemblyman or some such all at the same time. Much as I don't care for Christie, he will likely win this fall, whoever he goes against. If Dems thought they had a chance, Sweeney would be running.

No doubt. I think that is why Booker shifted gears towards the Senate. He will bide his time there, stay in the public eye, and make a run in 2017.
