A commenter asks about New Jersey's Senate race, which I didn't include in my list of races in play. I'll actually have quite a bit more to say about this wild and wacky race later, but Rasmussen does have a poll showing Frank Lautenberg up by double digits over both Assemblyman Joe Pennacchio and Ron Paul Republican Murray Sabrin. Former Congressman Dick Zimmer isn't included in the polls, since he became a candidate after they were conducted, so they give no indication of whether he'll be more competitive. But Zimmer lost to Robert Torricelli in the 1996 contest for this seat and narrowly lost a House race to Rush Holt in 2000.
