With the mixed feelings for the incumbent in the R-con room. In the face to face? It is 'even money' Senator Buono, the first woman to rise to the Minority leadership, is and will prove; a no nonsense appealing figure, of equal if not far better smarts and talent. Sadly, the incumbent may also overreach. He tends to assert and speak down to people. She does not appear to be the cowering type.
Then there is 'the tunnel'. The shocking sacrifice, of jobs and infrastructure, for the region and national economy. On? Tired small ball altars of distant regions and other land's narrow political ideologies and tactics; - Still rubs the wrong way. And look how allies of.. still disrespected New Jersey, the incumbent and the region, by voting against Sandy relief after that tragic storm. One can easily see how she will win back some of the regional respect, that sadly he lost.
Here, Senator Buono goes Hardball.
It wasn't that he didn't want to spend the money. He said, 'There were going to be overages.' And, the fact of the matter is? It was well worth it.
All of his decisions are guided, by his eye to 2016.

'This Country was built on these type of public works.' Even during the Civil War, the Transcontinental Railroad was built.'
Before that she said this..
I would not have pulled out of the arc tunnel. I would not have pulled out of the multi state pack that was creating great jobs.
The good part for the country, is that the incumbent, will have some needed time to actually prep for a Presidential run. While, getting his party in line. After all, he is still the best, so far, the R-Cons have to even think about the next cycle.
