One more democrat in the overly androgenic NJ State Senate. Congrats to Senator-elect Linda Greenstein!

BIG WIN FOR US IN NEW JERSEY POLITICS: In the most hotly contested state legislative election of 2010, pro-marriage equality Democrat Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein WINS her election for state Senate! Linda has been a target over the years of anti-marriage equality organizations like the National Organization for Marriage and the New Jersey Family Policy Council. Congratulations, Linda! We are thrilled for you.

Linda Greenstein wins big, heads to Senate | 6 comments

Thank goodness. (4.00 / 1)

With Linda's win, we will look forward to a stronger Democratic senate. And just in time.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

And I second that thought...... (4.00 / 1)

Welcome to the Senate, Linda. You and the additional vote you bring to our caucus is most needed! So the Governor is the "National
Republican Brand", as described by one of the Republican pundits on NJN tonight....but that brand did not win it for Sipprelle, Little, or Goodwin right here in New Jersey! Of course, congrats to the new Congressman Jon Runyon. I guess the Governor can try to claim that one.

Runyan (3.00 / 1)

I'm not sure the Governor can claim much in the Runyan victory. Adler ran a textbook example of how not to run an election campaign.

Dan Benson for Assembly (0.00 / 0)

With Linda's much deserved win, there will be a vacancy in the Assembly needing to be filled.

Let's replace a strong progressive voice with another strong progressive voice. :)

Dan would be a good fit.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

Dan will most likely have to beat John Cimino in a special election to claim Linda's vacated Assembly seat. Cimino will most likely have the support of fellow conservative Democrat, Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo. My guess is that Greenstein will remain neutral.
