Rowan University political analyst Larry Butler says getting people out to the polls -- or not -- could be the key to victory.
A rising star in the Democratic Party and a Republican former mayor won their parties' primaries on Tuesday to set up a campaign of political and stylistic contrasts as they seek to fill the final 15 months of the term of the late U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
Tuesday is the special summer primary for the senate seat in New Jersey.
The survey of more than 2,000 Garden State voters indicates that Democrats are heavily in favor of Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker, who garnered 54 percent in the poll.
The Newark mayor has been drawing criticism from his opponents in a special U.S. Senate election for where he hasn't been so far: campaign forums with them.
In 15 days, the voters of New Jersey will select candidates for the senate seat vacated by the death of Senator Frank Lautenberg.
A new poll strongly suggests the people have already made their minds up.
Cory Booker had just 53 days to convince New Jersey Democrats to nominate him to be the state's next U.S. Senator, but the Newark mayor spent Friday afternoon speaking to hundreds boys not yet old enough to vote.
Some five dozen Democratic party officials are working hard to get Cory Booker elected to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Frank Lautenberg.
A member of Newark Mayor Cory Booker's campaign staff says Booker is planning to enter the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat previously held by Frank Lautenberg.
The 2014 U.S. Senate race in New Jersey could prove entertaining, if nothing else, if those now talking about succeeding Frank Lautenberg actually do face off against each other. But political observers believe it probably won't happen.
New Jersey political pollsters are turning their attention to the next U.S. senate race, which is a year and a half away.
Gov. Chris Christie says he's not concerned about who his Democratic opponent will be in the New Jersey governor's race.
Many pundits saw Booker as the most effective candidate to go up against incumbent Republican governor Chris Christie.
Chris shares his thoughts and recollections on 9/11 and talks to the first Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, and Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, Ed Turzanski, about state of the country 11 years later and to CBS News Reporter Heather Bosch live from Ground Zero. He also talks to Rich Zeoli about the FBI raid and arrest of Trenton Mayor Tony Mack.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and the mayor of New Jersey's largest city are channeling the Seinfeld-Newman rivalry in a video parody that spoofs the mayor's heroics and Christie's vice presidential potential.
The mayor of New Jersey's largest city said Friday he thought he might die when he dashed through a burning, smoky kitchen to find and rescue a neighbor from her second-floor bedroom.
Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, N.J. has endorsed Christie's legislative package to help municipalities hold down property taxes and the two worked together to land a $100 million donation to Newark's public schools from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
