Governor Christie has no plans to actively help the likely Republican nominee, saying he has his own campaign to run, Steve Lonegan. Lonegan of course fought with Christie back in 2009 in a bitter primary campaign with Lonegan as the conservative chioce.

Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest 6/18/13: Exercise caution with optimistic generic congressional polls

So far this year, most reputable pollsters have given Democrats a small lead, but every so often, one has shown a much bigger gap. The latest is PPP, which put Dems up 47-40 in their most recent poll. Last month, the Washington Post found Democrats in front by 8 points, and Quinnipiac also once came up with a D+8 result earlier this year.

Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest 6/17/13: How Art Pope killed public funding for judicial elections in NC

Jordan, as it turns out, owed his office to Pope, who funded his first campaign in 2010 with over $100,000, so he probably should have expected to get this offer he couldn’t refuse, whatever it may have been. A sad day indeed for North Carolina….

In a 3-0 decision, a panel of the NJ Supreme Court has upheld Christie’s decision to schedule the Senate special for October 16, instead of concurrent with the November Gubernatorial election. The decision is a boon to Republicans who now have a chance to shunt Dem turnout away from the Gubernatorial (and more importantly, legislative) races.

While it would be foolish to rule out any outcome, there is no indication at this point that the Republican House majority is in jeopardy.

Massachusetts: Another poll shows Gabriel Gomez behind in his Senate race against Rep. Ed Markey, this time 49-37 from Harper Polling (Of course, that is not the message the Markey campaign is messaging to donors). Nevertheless, a Super PAC, Americans for Progressive Action (the names people think up!), is dropping $700k in ads for Gomez in the homestretch.

…..Gomez has a new ad out that takes the very hackneyed “fake attacks” route, with a narrator intoning with faux horror: “Gabriel Gomez is a very bad man. He kills old people. He hates women. He even leaves the toilet seat up.” Weak stuff, and there’s no word on the size of the buy.

MA-Sen: National Republicans have largely stayed out of this race, even as National Dems have engaged heavily. Sort of like last cycle’s OR-1 special, I’m inclined to mark that as a win, for this race being a cash sink for National Dems.

NJ-Sen: Quinnipiac Poll of the Dem primary: Booker 53, Holt 10, Pallone 9. Not a surprise, especially given that the machine is coalescing behind Booker.

NJ-Sen: It’s a done deal. Four Democrats and two Republicans have filed to run in this year’s special election to fill the remainder of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s Senate term. On the Dem side, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Reps. Frank Pallone and Rush Holt, and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver have all submitted signatures, while former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan and Some Dude physician Alieta Eck have done so for the GOP. Given Lonegan’s extreme conservatism and Eck’s utter lack of a profile, this means that Republicans have all but conceded the special in advance, so the real action will take place in the Democratic primary.
