N.J. Candidates Spar in Uncivil Debate

[cal04]

New Jersey's two Senate hopefuls faced off Saturday in an hourlong exchange characterized more by a lack of civility than the dialogue on issues they had said they wanted.

Sen. Robert Menendez and state Sen. Tom Kean Jr. repeatedly attacked each other during their first meeting of the fall, with Menendez frequently waving his index finger for emphasis and Kean cutting off his opponent in mid-sentence.

Both men relied on familiar lines of attack in the increasingly contentious and closely watched contest for a full six-year Senate term. The race could affect whether Democrats can take control of the U.S. Senate.

2. Kean extremely Desperate

Bush gets a B- from Kean Jr.? Kinda high grade for someone who says he wants Rumsfeld fired and Hastert canned. I've stopped listening to Kean Jr. at this point.

Senator Menendez showed he has a lot of experience and the type of class that comes from dealing with difficult issues. Menendez is exactly what Jersey needs right now.
