Democrats Spending $6 Million To Save Sen. Bob Menendez’s Seat. It’s Working.

"Polls show him between 5-7 points ahead of Bob Hugins."

If New Jersey Republicans cannot manage to unseat a senator credibly accused of 18 counts of corruption, then somebody needs to be fired. As Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) continued to slip in the polls against his GOP challenger, the Democrats were dishing out big dollars to save his seat; $6 million later, polls show him between 5-7 points ahead of Bob Hugins.

According to Real Clear Politics, the Senate Majority PAC will spend $3.05 million on television ads that will air in New York and Philadelphia in a desperate attempt to save his seat. This follows an October 16 advertisement that cost another $3 million in which Menendez's GOP opponent Bob Hugin was attacked for money he earned working at a pharmaceutical company.
