2. NJ might not be a sure thing

Love love love Senator Lautenberg - but he's up there . . . I don't think I've seen a statement that he's definitely running.

Now since Chris Christie's shot at being the Presidential Nominee for Republicans at a FEDERAL Level (meaning outside the state of NJ) - what happens if he runs?

I think even without Republican support out of state - he could win. It might actually be a BONUS to him if he's got snark from TEAPublicans. Even in a match up against Booker - he could win.
