Through the years, New Jersey Democrats have relentlessly attacked their Republican opponents by casting them as clones of the GOP s most noxious leader of the national moment.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was fused at the hip with Republican Senate candidates and legislative candidates in the 1990s.
Unpopular George W. Bush was summoned on the stump of House races in the 2000s. And Dick Cheney was so radioactive in 2006 that U.S. Senate candidate Thomas H. Kean Jr. deliberately arrived late to a Newark fundraiser with the former vice president by taking Route 1 rather than the turnpike.
