		New Jersey is shaping up to be a problem for Senate Democrats.
		New Jersey was once a quintessential swing state that has become consistently more Democratic on the national level.
		And the state Democratic party has been skating on thin ice in the recent major elections for Governor and Senate, surviving the Torricelli and McGreevy scandals with shrewd gaming of the system which may be catching up with the state party.

	FDU PublicMind - August 30, 2006 Release
		President Bush and the conflict in Iraq continue to hurt the Republican candidate in New Jersey's senate race.
		However, a portion of the poll designed to test the impact of national issues on the Senate race shows that without the concerns about the war and President Bush, Kean could hold a double digit lead at this point, 47 to 36 percent, rather than being in a tight race with Democratic Senator Robert Menendez.
		But Menendez is more likely to be considered to have the background and experience necessary to be a Senator by a margin of 27 to 23 percent.

		TRENTON — The state Senate approved a measure yesterday that would allow statewide cable franchising, despite objections similar to the television commercials that accuse Verizon of leaving out communities and raising the cable tax.
		Three Democrats from South Jersey said a stipulation that statewide cable providers have to cover municipalities whose population is more than 7,411 per square mile would leave out most of the communities they represent.
