    Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

    Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

      The biggest thing Kim has going for him is that every single person I have seen say anything about this race is mad at the idea of Murphy trying to hand his wife the Senate seat.

    The GOP rigs general elections and the Dem leadership rigs primaries.

    Anything to avoid the people with the most popular policy positions, AKA progressives, taking office and threatening the corrupt establishment that works for rich donors against the majority of the population.
