DANIEL STRAUSS – APRIL 1, 2014, 10:03 AM EDT

A would-be Republican Senate candidate won't be challenging Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) because of traffic problems.

The candidate, ex-FBI agent Rob Turkavage, was unable to file for the Republican primary to face Booker in November because he got stuck in traffic as he was trying to get to the Trenton office of the state Division of Elections before the 4 p.m. filing deadline on Monday, according to the Star-Ledger of New Jersey.

Turkavage said he got stuck in traffic on Route 9.

"I'm stuck in traffic," Turkavage told the New Jersey newspaper.

3. I wonder how much time he estimates before other time sensitive stuff - like catching a plane

Of course, this saves him from spending time and money in what likely is a totally useless endeavor. NJ ALWAYS has traffic - even when Christie is not causing it!

I wonder if he was listening to Christie's favorite musician singing of route 9.

Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and stepping out over the line
Baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We got to get out while we're young
Because tramps like us, baby we were born to run
<snip>
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide

5. route 9 doesn't run through trenton
