this guy is great at confronting Issues head on...

while unlikely I sure hope he wins..

Democratic Newark mayor Cory Booker’s Republican New Jersey Senate opponent Steve Lonegan says he helped cancel a Booker rally with Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel by criticizing both mayors’ appalling records on innercity crime.

Former Obama White House chief of staff Emanuel was slated to hold a Booker endorsement in Jersey City Friday, prompting Lonegan, the former mayor of Bogota, to announce his own “Murder Mayors” rally across the street highlighting the violent crime epidemic in both Booker’s Newark and Emanuel’s Chicago. After Lonegan announced his event, Emanuel canceled the pro-Booker rally and headed home to Chicago, where 13 people were injured in a South Side shooting late Thursday.

Lonegan tells it honestly and straightforward..
“Booker’s been out in California since the beginning of the week. He’s campaigning in Hollywood and San Francisco. He has, from what we understand, a fundraiser at a disco in Hollywood tonight and another one tomorrow night. In the meantime we’ve had a rash of murders” in Newark, Lonegan said.

“His city is disintegrating and yet he’s walking around Hollywood.”

Lonegan said. “California doesn’t need a third senator. New Jersey needs its own senator.”

ouch,.. to bad the liberals don't care if their guy is fundraising out in Hollywood..

Newark police responded to three different shootings in the city Thursday, with four people wounded and one killed. Newark has seen more than 60 homicides so far this year, including ten murders in a streak of ten days in late August and early September.

“Everybody’s so worried about ‘Booker’ that…we are forgotten. The people of the city of Newark. We are hurting here. This crime is killing us. The blood runs on our streets,” the Newark Anti-Violence Coalition’s Donna Jackson said after a murder earlier this month.

Booker’s campaign blasted Lonegan’s counter-rally and shifted focus to the national debate about gun control presided over by the Obama administration.

no one would have known Booker was in Hollywood had Lonegan not decided to hold the counter rally..

and alot of folk in the cities are wondering now who Booker cares about more..

it is a great move by Lonegan to highlight his opponents absence.. and may bring him critical votes..

even if the liberal Booker voters just don't show up.. out of disgust for Bookers absence..Booker may lose the election.. doubtful as the press already has him elected.. and running for president..
