Dem Senator Frank Lautenberg will be 84 when he runs for reelection in 2008, but one potential GOP challenger has ruled out a run against him: 36-year old Rep. Mike Ferguson. PoliticsNJ reports that Ferguson, who was seen as capable of mounting a formidable challenge to the Dem Senator, has decided to take a pass on the contest for unspecified reasons. Ferguson was narrowly re-elected to a fourth term this year, representing a suburban area with a slight Republican lean. The Republicans have not won a Senate race in New Jersey since 1972, but might be working hard to find a good candidate against Lautenberg in the hopes that his age will leave him vulnerable. |
