| Description | Former Highlands Mayor Anna Little wants to run for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
"Leaning," spokesman Larry Cirignano told PolitickerNJ.com this morning when asked how committed Little was to a statewide candidacy.
Beaten in 2010 by U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, (D-6), Little said at her Election Night party that she wanted a rematch, a desire she confirmed in several subsequent encounters with PolitickerNJ.com.
But more recently, Little has told supporters she wants to beat U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, (D-NJ), next year as part of a nationwide effort to make Barack Obama a one-term president.
If she were to unseat Menendez, Little would buck a four-decade trend in New Jersey. Democrats in the state have won ten consecutive senate races, going back to 1972, when Republican Clifford Case won his U.S. Senate bid. |
