Living in NJ, I must admit that I’ve heard a lot about Booker, and barely anything about Lonegan. I’m really not in to politics, so if not for the fact that I am a registered Republican, I would vote for Booker just because his name is more familiar to me.
On a different note, the fact that he is pro gay rights really shouldn’t scare us off that much. It doesn’t affect you as person. I agree, it’s not moral and it’s not the way we do things, but would you want religious law to dictate the government? Are you not pro the separation of church and state?
